HID's for $35

[sgtowing]

If you get clear headlights(jewel effect), the Hides will be just fine.

That light chart is pretty close. You will find that the 3000K and 2300K HID bulbs output less lumen than the 4300K HIDs. That is atleast what I have found. If you are after the brightest bulb that is legal (ie, 35W HID with a DOT stamp on the bulb), then you need to stick with 4300K. If you are picking look over functionality, then there are other choices there.

if you want to get into how the colors are affected, I can go into detail on that. I got some training on this very subject in a round about way. Oh the things I get myself into.

A couple of reasons they're not as bright as you may have expected is because:
- The original lenses are designed for a regular bulb, not HIDs and the focal point is different.
- The lense is diffusing, HIDs use clear lenses.
- The color temperature is 6000K, 4300K is the brightest and the same as factory HIDs.

Damn, didn't realize that. Learn something new everyday. The chart from the seller under 6000k started looking yellow, that's why I picked what I did. New lens will be next, (after I fix my leaky moonroof).

So did you lose your high beams?

Probably means getting Lightning (OEM or aftermarket) and doing a projector retrofit. I think the thread I saw was done using an FX-R projector.
