Hi all ive been looking into getting some hids for my rex. well im stuck on the colors i want for Lowbeam and Highbeam


looking at 10,000K for low beam. and 30,000k for highbeam.

But dont know what color 30,000k is...

ive googled the shit out of it and the only color chart i find is up to 12,000k.

ive been told its a purple/pink color or its a Deep blue??

Does anyone know??


Thanks

 

30,000k? Holy balls. It's going to be like a rainbow of color

It'll be a very dark pink. ( Guessing )

24,000k is a violet.

Your 10k will be dark blue/purple.

 

jesus thats insane.

 

just looking at my options for the colors...

just want the 30000k for show not really for use. cause its going to be in my highbeam so wont be using them that much.

also looking at using stock 2004 escalade ones in my fogs.

 

it would be purle/pink. i had a chart for the intensity and color output but i cant find it.

 

thanx man.

 

are u going retrofit HID or plug and play in your housing? that will make a big difference in actual output.
and yes, the hight Kelvin you are going for, the less output but the more color. in other words, it will look good, colorful, but you won't see shit on the road.
this might be helpful to you: Yellow:
1500 k Candlelight
2700-2900 k Yellow painted fog halogen bulbs
-------------------------------
Yellowish white:
3200 k Sunrise/sunset
3200 k Premium H7 non painted halogen bulb
3400 k 1 hour from dusk/dawn
-------------------------------
White:
4100 k Philips/Osram OEM HID D2S
5500 k Bright sunny daylight around noon
----------------
Blueish white
5500-5600 k Electronic photo flash
6000 k Philips Ultinon HID D2S
6500-7500 k Overcast sky
-----------------
Blue:
9000-12000 k Blue sky
-----------------
Purple:
28000 Northern sky
12000-30000 k Ultra Violet light (black light)

As you can see, 4100k would be right where the "sweet spot" is on that chart. It produces near to the suns same kelvin thus giving you daylight-like output. Think of it like this, high kelvin bulbs would be like being out in the sun with sunglasses on vs a 4100k being in the sun w/o glasses on.

 

i have 8k and its bright white no blusish tint or anything

 

i thought the lower the number the brighter or whiter? so why 10k low and 30k high?

 

6k is where it starts to get a bluish tint. 4300 im sure is the most standard factory hid output. after 6 k quality gets shitty. id cuggest going with something other than 10k for your lo beams if you do alot of night driving.
