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.

Uh, no i have 8000K and its got a purple "tint" to them. Not good for the rain however I dont use the car in the rain so i went for them.
Oh and 300 is pretty cheap especially for 10K and thats ridiculously high. Cars that come with them today are like 4500K - 6000K. Thats white, and thats the ideal range. Any blue or purple makes them useless in the rain. Also you wouldnt get 2 sets unless you want ALL your lights to be HID, but IMO its not worth it. Also the stock celica headlight is not ideal for HID - personally I wouldnt get HID with those headlights. This post has been edited by Supersprynt: Dec 10, 2004 - 2:36 PM -------------------- |
