That looks tight as hell man, I've been wanting to switch to HID's but I don't know the best place to get them, and I don't know if I can get them for the '04 style fogs.

what color are u looking for?

bishop_150

I want a good looking blue or bright true white

dilloncawthon

way too blue. idk why people want to spend the time and money on hid kits that put out way less light then the stock headlights.

hids are 300% brighter what do u mean they put less light output???

dilloncawthon

yeah they are that much brighter when they are oem temperatures, 4300k. once you get over 12000k they put out less lumens than most factory halogen bulbs.




------------------------------ Approximate
Light Source ----- K Temp --- Lumens (output)
Halogen bulb ----- 3200k ------ 1500-2000
Sunlight --------- 4700k
D2S bulb -------- 4300k ------- 3200
D2S bulb -------- 6000k ------- 2800
----------------- 8000k HID --- 2500
---------------- 10000k HID --- 2200
---------------- 12000k HID --- 2100

HALOGEN

dilloncawthon

yes i am because it's a fact that they are. and how are those head on pics supposed to prove me wrong? an hid kit in a factory reflector housing compared to a what appears to be older model car with outdated headlights and halogens. i can look into my led flash light and be more blinded than by looking into a spot light but the spot lights is going to put out more light, correct?

flipd2k

you said it yourself led will blind you more than a spot light which means the led flashlight is brighter than the spot light even though spot light puts out more light .... halogens might be proven to put out more light but all i have mentioned is that hids are brighter
