K.Brown Customs Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) This is a Lumen scale I got from my supplier. Sooo you get how that goes........ if you have anything above 6K, the lumens just keep going down! the HIGHER "K".... the LESS lumens! I have 6,000K right now, and I'm switching to 5K!

diggerdan11 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I have 4300 in both my HD and in my Subaru and they are so much brighter than any other color. I will never go over 4300 again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowsniper3006 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 KB do you know about how bright(lumen) our stock headlights are? Just to compare to the lower output of the higher "k" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.Brown Customs Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Stock low or hi beams- (55w halogen = 1,350 or 1,650) depending on voltage they get brighter or dimmer depending on voltage flow KB- Edited January 1, 2013 by K.Brown Customs (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueAKSSS Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I'm running 4300k's in my truck and they are the brightest 3five watt hid's I've ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.Brown Customs Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Right now I have 55w- 6,000K in my hi and low's... with the 4 hi mod but with a magie charger on top, I can out drive my lights in a snap! I'm tired of not being able to see the next turn coming up on the "back roads" I am going to switch to 5,000K. IF YA DO THE MATH--- that's 600 more lumens in low beam and 1,200 more lumens in hi beam!! (roughly since I have 55w) IMO... there's never enough light. here's how I feel it should be, LOW beam should be, only (2) lights, adjusted properly for oncoming drivers. be smart, be safe HI beam in my book, is GAME ON! and don't be a dick.... bright down for oncoming drivers KB- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.Brown Customs Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Great rule of thumb on Lumens- "When all other things are equal, (like your light housings).... a light must be twice as bright to be "noticeably" brighter, and four times brighter to appear twice as bright to the human eye."

rdavid0412 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Do you have the Reverse light kits available yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.Brown Customs Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) yes, they are $60 and remember the bulbs are plug and play... the ballast will need to be hard wired from truck. what i did was ground to sheet metal and take the positive wire from the truck.... its simple as that KB- Edited January 2, 2013 by K.Brown Customs (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
