what is the most brightest? 4000k or 6k? coz im planning to buy HID for my R6 06, and i want the brightest.. even if it is blue, as long as it is much brighter than the 4k or all other, then ill go for the 6k... i need your opinion guys...

and how much did u get it? im on vacation here in texas and ill be going back to the philippines on dec...

i dont know any shops here coz im not from around here.. i live in paris texas

The brightest is 5200, you can't find it in aftermarket HID set ups. Go with the 6K as its the next best thing.

Use xenonrider.com , his name is Joseph, ask him for his ebay link as he has the sets there for $145.00 shipped.


I used a 6K headlight and a 3K highbeam

what about the H1 thru H10 or whatever it is, kit?

which one are we supposed to go with? im assuming H3?

H7 would be the one you use.

what do you mean by the H1 and H7? please post more pics.. i love those HIDs

well 8k is technically the brightest, but the higher on the k scale you go, the less actual light output you have. 6k is typically a pretty good balance between light output and the blue color that people want out of their hid's

i always thought the lower the K the brighter the light. once you get into the higher K your just getting more color output.

so 4k woud be the brightest out of your choices.

H1 and H7 are the types of bulb bases that would fit into a certain headlamp.

No, 8K is not as bright as the 6K, its just adds more color to the bulb.

Color Temperature is a measurement in Degrees Kelvin that indicates the hue of a specific type of light source. Many people believe the misconception that colour temperature is a rating of the brightness of the bulb or HID kit. This belief is completely false. The reality of the matter is that the higher the colour temperature, the less useable light output you will obtain. A perfect example would be a black light. This light has a colour temperature of approx 12,000k and has almost no useable light or lumens output. Higher K kits such as 7000k, 7500k, etc. have been manufactured for individuals that are more concerned about the actual colour output of their lights as opposed to the actual useable light output they produce.

i have 5000k and love them

You should've worded your question like this:

Which HID has the most lumens ?

Answer is 4500K = 3400 Lumens as good as it gets almost a pure white

3K & 6K = 3200 Lumens

5K= 3300 Lumens

8K,10K,12K = They suck, you might as well keep stock bulbs

3K & 6K = 3200 Lumens

5K= 3300 Lumens

8K,10K,12K = They suck, you might as well keep stock bulbs


yea, 8K and up are for looks only

First off I want to say sorry for the stupid questions that I may ask.

Now looking at the website that was provided in the motorcycle kit area that you would need to purchase two seperate kits for different k's if you want? Or be like me, and just look at one type of k for both lights (6k) with the kit.

And I take it that you don't have to order the motorcycle HID kit?

Again, sorry for the stupid question, but I've been looking at these HID's since I got my bike last month.. I'm just worried about my warrenty if something happens with these type of lights on the bike..

Thanks

If you buy through the guy that I posted, then you can buy one kit and tell him what K's you want and hill break it up for you at no extra charge... So, one kit, one price of $145.00 shipped.

Thanks, I didn't know you could do that...

Yeah man, Joe is the coolest guy on the east coast...
