kwaves11 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 This is probably a dumb question but I already have HID's from the previous owner and dont know what they are but I want to upgrade to something a lot brighter. I was thinking either 4500k or 6000k. Can I just swap in a new bulb once I decide or do I need new ballast? Also what is going to be the brightest and look the best? Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPurcell Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 I also have a HID question n this seemed as good a place as any to ask, but I just bought 2 xenon h13 6000k bulbs to use in my reverse lights but I can't get them to work even if I hook em directly to the battery. Is there another price I need other than just the bulbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys 6000K are the brightest and whitest temperature, u might have 35W ballasts, if so you can upgrade to 55W ballasts I also have a HID question n this seemed as good a place as any to ask, but I just bought 2 xenon h13 6000k bulbs to use in my reverse lights but I can't get them to work even if I hook em directly to the battery. Is there another price I need other than just the bulbs? u have ballasts? Edited November 30, 2010 by The_aSSet (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPurcell Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Well I looked for the ballasts n found some but it says it is for h4 and h7 bulbs will it also work for h13? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 I assume so, since thats just the type of bulb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
