Hid Question Options

[rjbibeau]

i saw a hummer h2 the other day and i saw that it had tese nice true purple/blue hid's more purple though. i was wondering what the k rating would be on those and i was thinking that it would look good on a celica. does anyone know the k rating at which it looks to be a purple tone. it's even more purple than the lexus and bmw headlights. i tried looking for hummer stuff on the web but coudn't find anything. i'm thinking their like a 10,000 k rating according to what i have been reading. the mucculloch kits that are on ebay are like 300 bucks. but then i would have to get two sets to match right. i dunno this is confusing. anyone have anything.

I think it's because our stock USDM headlights would just put out all that bright light everywhere...it'd probably be blinding to oncoming drivers, and the light wouldn't all be reflected where you'd want it to be.

Projectors, on the other hand, have a very sharp beam cutoff that's developed precisely so that it reflects lots of light where you want it, and cuts off the beam pattern so that you don't blind oncoming drivers.
