absolutsnwbrdr Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 traded the car in last week, but it had 35w 5000k in both lowbeams and fogs... http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs083.snc1/5021_525078891252_72100768_31080452_5007950_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc0220k Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 i bought my 4300k is because everyone say 4300k is 200+lumen brighter than 5000k. but on the street/real world, mine just looks like regular halogen when come to 5000k side-by-side!

markc0220k Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 after i have my 4300k/35w hid installed, i would pay more attention on others hid and compare with mine side by side when sitting front of stop light. i found ...actually, mine doesn't really brighter than other (5000k or higher). and i think mine looks like regular halogen, similar to those stock (i guess) HID. of coz, it's much brighter when it's dark and not much street light around. thinking to go for 55w. suggestion? can legacy wires handle 55w hid? i did some search, but couldn't find a brandnamed 55w hid. philips and mcculloch only have 35w available.

GTTuner Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I have a 4300 35W kit, no fogs (FMIC). I can't say enough about how well they light up the road. I notice it most when it is raining at night. The ol' Silverstars just didn't cut it. Best mod I ever did, next to my 18g of course. Putting some 4300 35W BiZenon's in the wifes Saab this weekend (H4 bulb). Will post up some pics of them both side by side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lkout4trucks Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 ugh that makes me want yellow fogs so much more haha. MarkC - i dont know the science behind the way lumens work but i can tell you that 55w kits are DEF brighter. same as regualr bulbs. they can push the same lumen but a 100w reg bulb will be much brighter than >100watts. got me curious...might have to research the reasons behind this.

MiniStiGuy Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I've been meaning to take out my car and my cousins LGT which has 55w DDM kit in it for some good comparo's. I was going to also hook up my 35w ballast to show the difference between the 55w and 35w using the same setup. I have my 35w ballast still mounted on the car for the fogs that I never decided to put in since I don't need them. Since its just a simple unplug 1 and plug the other in for me it makes it easy for me to do comparo's. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice it most when it is raining at night. really? i feel fine as long as it's not raining or road is dry. i work at overnight shift, most of the time i go home at dawn. Once it rain at the time, my headlight is totally disappears! foglight doesn't help either. but yet, it's way better than halogen. mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
