the most common misconception for HID for it's color and brightness.
those stated in the box or manuals..

eg. 6000K, 8000K refers to the output color of the light. not the brightness. You should consider the amount lumens the bulb is capable to produce. For the best color output for most types of condition would be 4300K - 6000K. Yellowish to White.

10,000K is already blu-ish.
Yup, agree.. lumens is the brightness, whereas K / Kelvin is the colour temp. hehehe! learn a bit when looking for HIDs myself!

doesnt matter wat brand... branded ones are just good for reliability on da long run

if u wan just white only... i think max u should go is 6000K...

cos 7000K is a bit bluish alredi and the intensity is not that good, ie, u wont b able to c well in da rains

Try Raybrig

 

[sherwin]

5000K should give you almost pure white

4300K - yellowish white
5000K - white
6000K - white with blue tinge
8000K - bluish white, slight hints of purple

Most Xenon bulb are not sensitive to ballast but some of the poor quality ballast produce less then 1200v it might damage your bulb in long run .....

Only issue on bulb is the Beam Pattern, a good cut off shield make good beam pattern so u can utilise all the out put by not harming other ......
