diggerdan11 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Well the farther you go up the Kelvin Scale the more Blue the light becomes and the less light output there is 35W HIDs: 3,000k are bright yellow (these are only good for fog lights and are super bright) 4,300K are bright white (this is what stock cars come with) 5,000K are white with a hint of blue 6,000K are light white with a lot more blue 8,000K are blue with a little white 10,000K are realy blue I have 55W 10,000K and I love them. 55W HIDs are a little different than normal 35W HIDs. With the 55W the light is distorted a bit so my 55W 10,000K HIDs look more like 35W 6,000K if that makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jddmj Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 My question has been. If I used my headlights with headlight covers, and use HIDs. Would the headlights be bright enough through the covers not to have to take them off. AND would it be cool enough not to melt the cover?

Would the headlights be bright enough through the covers not to have to take them off. AND would it be cool enough not to melt the cover? I would think that you would want to remove the covers. I dont think HIDs are that bright to shine through the covers properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make 85W regular bulbs but I have never in my life heard of 85W HIDs If they in fact do Exist they would be so hot they would melt the headlight housings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianVRss Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) I have 35w 10000k hids and you do get SOME light through the covers. But not enough. They were being kept cool by the wind on the highway at the time and they were still pretty warm. I'm sure they'd be pretty droopy in the city without and wind cooling them. So I'd say no. You'd still have to take em off. I've never heard of a 85w hid kit either, but I think I read somewhere about a 110w hid kit. But it said you HAD to buy the enclosure for them because they WILL melt your stock enclosures. I'll see if I can find them. Whoops they're a 100 watt kit http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/462948210/Best_quality_100_watt_hid_xenon.html Edited November 3, 2011 by canadianVRss (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
