5000K seems a little "spooky" kinda light which reflects with low contrast. 4300K may appear a little yellowish but it's more "visible" light which brings more contrast and definition, at least to my eyes.

55W at 6000K is the best look and best visibility. 35W at 6000K is way too blue. At 55W, its white with a blueish tint. If you're looking to get a 35W kit, then get one with a 5500K bulb. DDM Tuning kits are by far the best I've used.

And when ordering it gave me a huge variety of anything from say 3k-12k+ The main reason I want hids is because I am blacking my car out. So i am tinting the headlights a bit, so that in itself will put my visibility/brightness down alot. So I want hids too help me with my visibly and brightness and being able too see more. And you have made it clear that 6k is the way too go!! Thank you soo much.

like the video best part is how you show the graph that once you go to a brighter color temp bulb ( over 5k ) it puts out less light on the road. have had a few friends argue that with the same ballast the brighter the color temp the more light it puts out. some times you cant explain it to people but once you pass the 5k mark you are only making your light on the road less and less.

And before anyone argues the fact get a flashlight and go look at your taillight on the drivers side you'll see an L or if you were to take out the skirt it will have an L or any part for that matter. Always stand in the back of the vehicle and go by left and right not the front. Just trying to help. :-)

Great Vid. I seen some vids about different power outputs of the ballast also causes a colour differentiation given the same temperature, commonly a 35W vs a 55W. It'll be great if you could do a vid on how 'washed out' a given temperature will be with a same temp bulb. One things is not talked about clearly or lacking info online is the major differences between an 'S', 'R' and 'C' bulb as I understand fundamentally what each stands for and hence need to match the type with the design of the headlight but would be interesting to see footage of 'mismatched' setups, ie D4S bulb on a D4R Headlight or vice versa given the ballast specs are the same.

The average human eye has its greatest sensitivity to light at a wavelength of about 550 nm, in the yellow to green region of the visible spectrum. The eye's sensitivity to light drops off and eventually goes to zero as light goes below red into the infrared spectrum and past violet in the ultra-violet region. A blackbody radiator with a color temperature of about 5300 K has its peak emission at 550 nm and so that is the color temperature that I shoot for when looking for a bulb that will maximize nightime visibility.

Very informative video! I just installed a set of 6000K headlights and 3000K fog lights in my truck (with projectors housings BTW), but the 6000K, while looking awesome, they have a slight hint of blue to my eyes. I was starting to doubt my decision and was wondering if I should have gone with 5000K instead, but after watching your video, I think I'll stay with my current HIDs. I also have been driving with stock H11 halogens in my truck for 4 years, so it could just be that I'm not used to this new color. I had 6000K's in my high beams as well, but took them out due to their warm up time. I live in a very dark country-like area, so being able to quickly gain extra light while on the pitch dark roads is a must. I didn't feel safe having to let the high beams warm up for 5 seconds before being able to see. I read online that many people do keep their halogen high beams. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to use the HID high beams and eliminate the warm up, or if they know of any good halogen high beams (9005 bulbs) that actually match 6000k. It's not a big deal to me since with the high beams, I'm seeking safety and practicality over style, but currently, with the high beams on, the lights goes from a bluish-white near the truck and fades into a yellowish white in the distance (my low beams stay on with the high beams).

+Spex 6000k will have a blue tint to it. 5000k is pure white. Also the quality of the ballast and whether it's AC or DC ballast can change the color. I did another video comparing them. As to the warm up time on HID for your highs, that's just the nature of a ballast needing to arc that xenon gas. You can look into some of the new Cree headlight bulbs. They are very bright and instant on. Compare AC & DC Ballast kzitem.info/news/bejne/2KNs0JN-japja5w LED Headlight kzitem.info/news/bejne/r2hp0X2lrXiidoo

+Spex yeah its hard to have HID high beams because of the warm up time, and turning them on and off causes increased ware on them. So Id either suggest that you get a projector that allows for a low and high beam mode, so that it opens a shutter in the projector so u can have instant HID high beams, like my car does. Or, since you do drive a drunk in dark, back roads, I suggest you get an LED light bar, and mount it in/on your bumper, or on top of the cab and then you can use that for very dark roads. Just dont used it on high traffic, populated areas because you'll blind the hell out of everyone.
