[bigmacak22]

hi there guys..i just wanted to ask you question about a hid light bulbs...i wanted to repleace my blue hid lights..so my question is..does any one in here knows what kind of temperature and color does audi car has..is it crystal clear 43k or 6000k...

[galantlvr34]

i think it is 4300k and i think they are blue.

[jubeiaire]

if you want to stay blue its 8k if you want bright white 6k if you want pure white 4300k

[Isaurio]

8000k is more blue than white. 6000k is white with a hint of blue. Get the 8000k is best one

[E_Emerson88]

get 5000K, its white with a bit of blue

[showtime]

I had 8k, i hated it. Too blue to light up the road. 6K is the "bluest" I would go.

[bigmacak22]

i'm trying to get a light same as audi and bmw has..crystal clear,or i'm not so sure what is called that color..and also i want a brightest color.is it 6000k bright color than 4300k

[bergundy2k1]

The stock HID Bulbs are either 4300K or 5000K.

[bigmacak22]

so the stock bulbs of audi are 4300k or 5000k..which one is brightest

[galantlvr34]

i think 5000k is brighter then 4300k.and i think 5000k would seem more blue then the 4300k.

k=Kelvin, kelvin is the color code for actual color output, the color you see on the ground and objects in front of you.

hids do not have different brightness outputs due to kelvin, its the kits watts that determine that :35 or 55watt kits

a common miss statement is that a 4300k hid is brighter than a 10,000k bulb, in reality they are the same brightness, to the eye the 10k seems less bright but it gives you a better depth of view as the shadows in object become more pronounce. and the color temp allows for a softer bounce back of light off of reflective objects.

the difference between 4300k and 5000k is
Warm white (2500K~4000K) resembles incandescent light bulbs, cool white (5000K~8000k) resembles fluorescent light bulbs.

true 6000k produces a blue hue in the housing but not on the ground and foward objets, however there are bulbs that are tech rated at 6500k-7000k that get sold as 6k, those bulbs produce a very light blue on white and light colored objects at night.


if you have a 5000k bulb thats fowardly emitting blue light then it is misslabled as 5000k.

do not go below 4300k or youll wind up in the yellow end of the kelvin spectrum.

which temperature of light bulb audi and bmw has,,,,is it 4300 or 5000 or 6000...i just want to get a same color of the light as audi bmw has..i call that color crystal clear..but i'm not sure for correct name of that light bulb color...

[jubeiaire]

audi and bmw have diff kelvins based on the model but you can go with either 4300k or 5000k, ill look up a 2010 bmw 3series and see what the color temp is, since thats the most pop beamer on the road

[jubeiaire]

The BMW parts number is 63217217509 for D1S V4 4100K 35W 84V

so there it is
4100k

NOTE: Only for cars with xenon headlights upgrade-for beamer that means the hid ballast
