HID question

Hi everyone,

wanted to see if anyone has pics of what lights they have. I currently have 6K HID's and wanted to go to 5K or 4300 to have more white/brighter. Also i know the the fog lights are a H11- does anyone know off the top what the headlights are? oh- this is for a 2013 Tacoma

 

I have a 2012 and my headlights are h4's. I have the 4300 k and mine are super white and very bright. I bought my kit on here from slimcubby

 

coo

thanks for quick reply. I installed the 4300K on fogs and currently have 6K on headlights. Ill take pic in a bit. The guy told me 4300 has the highest output yet 5 and 6K can look brighter? I'm currently looking on Amazon- might get 5K. I know this all preference just trying to get others opinions.

 

so would 5K be brighter than 6K HIDs?

 

To my knowledge the numbers denote the color of the bulb output. Not sure if a higher number means brighter. To me I see better with the 4300k

 

The higher the KELVIN, the less lumens....... thats why REAL OEM projectors come with 4300K.... cuz they know blue doesnt mean brighter, works like shit in rain and fog.... and blue also fatigues the human eye.......... glare on

 

I hate blue headlights. They're so annoying to me

 

no no..... they are annoying to EVERY human eye in the world.... even if the drivers dont realize it.

 

Good. Haha

 

makes total sense- i was just about to buy 5K- gonna look for the 4300K

 

I think a lot of people use 5000K on here. It isn't too blue from what I've seen....if I remember correctly

 

no its not bad at all.... and when they colorshift after some time, they will likely become 4300K. talk to andrew @Trs

 

My rear bumper..... plz stay far from it at night

 

Cell phone daytime after install. 5000k

 

You better be planning a retrofit soon.

 

Looks good- I should have mine in by Friday

 

What do you mean? I'm just replacing hid bulbs

 

ur gunna blind ppl

 

HID bulbs NEED to be in a projector housing, NOT a reflector housing designed for halogen bulbs. There's a ton of information on this site about why. I'm too tired to dive into it right now, but long story short you are getting less focused light patterns with HIDs in halogen housings. Not to mention you infuriate every other driver on the road at night.

 

Point taken- thanks for the heads up
