facts.

 

but at least they arent black lights yet at only 8000k

thatll be some serious blue action and probably look cool. I think that super insanely bright white (4300k) looks better though it looks clean and functional.

as for your question you need to remove the rubber grommet around the headlight to access the bulb. I didnt have to remove the bumper to change my Highbeams, but im not sure about my lows. I have small hands so that made a difference

 

[QUOTE=GranPrix,May 10 2007, 12:10 PM]Lumens drop drastically as you go up in the Kelvin scale.

 

will someone explain to me the difference in the different bulbs? 4300K or 8000K what does it all mean?

 

It means color temp, Usually the higher the temp i.e 8000K the more blue/purple light comes out of the bulb.

The s2k comes stock with 4300k people sometimes put the 6k, 8k and 12k bluish purple bulbs in there cars for the color.

Also it a fact that the higher the bulb temp, the lower lumens it puts out, meaning the headlights dont get the same light output as the stocks, but more of the blue purple color.

yeah max id get is 6k

 

thanks guys. I can't believe the prices they are asking for these bulbs. haah

 

I have 8000k in my car and it's fine for normal driving trust me....and my vision isn't all that great either

You do need to remove the fender liner and front wheels or proper way to do it like me is to remove the front bumper to remove the headlights. I was doing my clear corner mod so it was no big deal.

A mod that costs a lot, looks stupid, and reduces functionality? Sign me up!!!
