Is it possible to replace our bulbs with say....the 9000k bulbs from the audi? Not those specific bulbs, but 9000k bulbs for our cars.

 

Have a look at this link.

I spoke with these folks recently as I am thinking about changing to HIDs for my Volvo.

Michael is the person I spoke with and he mentioned they had amazing results upgrading the HIDs on an S2000.

If I remember correctly the stage 2 product uses 6000 rated bulb.

 

Thanks for the info. I'm going to have to check that out.

 

Why would you want too?

Theres nothing wrong with the s2000's lights, its just that the Audi lights are much nicer looking and seem to be a bit brighter as well.

 

Whats the rating on ours? 4000k? With the 9000K will it be BRIGHTER and more bluish purpulish?

Ok well I did some reaserch on that site and can't seem to find 9000k, only 6000k. I want the look that the new 5 series BMW's have. Does Micheal have pictures of the S2000 with the stage 2 upgrade?

 

Hi VTEC Racer,

Michael did not have pictures of the Stage 2 install.

He mentioned that the car has a very good projector lamp design to start with.

He does not have lamps over 6000 for our car.

If I remember correctly he said, after the stage 2 conversion, with the high beams on, all 4 lanes of a 4 lane road were lit up extremely well.

 

If i remember correctly, the 6000k bulbs are actually not as bright. The amount of light is rated in lumens. Higher color temperature (Kelvin) does not correlate to a brighter light.

 

I agree that the audi ones are nicer looking. If I remember correctly, someone on audiworld.com posted 9000k bulbs for sell and it's somewhere around $250 a pair. And ebay have 6000k for $249 a pair.

 

This is exactly true. The higher the rating, the higher the temperature. Just means a different color. In actuality they are actually less bright then ours which are 4k. The 6K do look pretty neat though i must admit.
