HID's, what colour??

[Johnny A]

Before anyone says it... the headlights are projector type and do not blind peoples!!

I am converting senator headlights with calibra projectors... also want to run a crazy silly colour in the fog lamps as I never use them in real world situations so I might as well have some fun!!

Here is the colour chart showing all colours available:


Dipped beam? As the car is old school I don't think anything with a blue tint works as that says 'modern' to me which the car is not. I was thinking going 3000K old school yellow!

Fogs? Extreme here I think, 20000K (deep purple - which works with yellow) or 30000K pink!

Also what is the fitment for the senny fogs?? H3?

6000k for the headlamps john

and 12000k for the fogs!!

yeah see 6K have a blue tint, I know this as mums calibra has that temperature.

5000k are the nearest to day light, but personally, I think 6000K are a bit sharper.

Colourwise - for me it's the pure white FTW.

if i remember correctly as you go more into the colours , you loose brightness.
so its all well and good having nice blue or even green lights but if im pretty much 100% sure that 3000 - 4000 kelvin is the brightest for visibility. plus if you go too blue you'll be getting stung by the old bill.
 you want to get the colour so its not blue but its not yellow - sort of in the middle - trying to remember the days of having these on my old mk2 golf lol

ps - hope your not spending more than 50 quid on a setup. look on ebay and make sure you get the HI / LOW setup as otherwise you'll just have dipped beam HID's and xenon main beam and its crap as your main beam becomes useless. - they're easy to fit too.
