O i orded 10k headlights for my old f150. When i got them put them i wasnt sure if they were 10 looked kinda light. But i liked them so i kept them. Now i got a new truck and moved the lights over but i have fog lights now so i asumed they were the same 10k so thats wat i orderd. But no they were much bluer. So heres my prob idk wat K my heads are to match the foggs. Heres some pics dose anyone know. Im thinkin there 8K please help

 

4300k is what most Euro cars use in projectors...its a somewhat yellow hue. 5000k-6000k is going to pure white. 8000k is a slight blue color. 10000k is very blue and 12000k is purple. The higher the temperature the less light output you will have. I have 8000k and they are just a slight blue color prolly close to what you are looking at in your heads.

 

They look like 8k to me. But remember this, no bulbs will ever be the same. I have 3 sets of hid kits and all are 6k. None of them put off the same color. Though its a slight difference and a normal person wouldnt be able to tell, i can. But i have installed about 60-70 hid kits for family and friends.

Moody is right, but ill explain it a little more thouroughly tell help you understand what he means.

The higher the kelvin, the less your hid has the ability to cast a shadow, (color) interrupts normal light. Our vision at night is based on a high percentage of shadows. So when your kelvin output is higher than your lumen output, you actually lose the benefit of having an hid kit and the ability to see better at night. Though a higher kelvin looks cool, it does nothing to help while driving at night. It took me many kelvin temps and buying different bulbs to test what was best for visibility.

Moody, im not trying to step on your toes or anything. Just trying to get him to understand the importance of the proper light/ kelvin out put.

 

definitley 8k. ill try to find my post. I just put in 6000k 55w lights to give a a comparason.

How hard are these to install? I have a kit waiting to be put on but I want to make sure they are plug and play. Anyone have a how to with our newer trucks?

 

If you have basic knowledge of mechanics, it wont be hard to do. I would suggest that you use a voltmeter to make sure you have both sides on the correct sides of the oem connector. I didn't use one but it wouldn't hurt.

 

 

I understand the diff in the K but wat i ordered was 10k heads and i deff didnt get them but i liked how theses ones looked so i kept them i just dont know wat K they are

 

Try a 8k see if that works. Should be an h10 bulb. If it doesnt work, return them and get 10k.
