10000k hid fitted

[LeeC]

Thats what i read from manual. I have seen cars go through with green lights. Maby tester i use is nicer
A 'matched pair' is a pair of lamps which Both emit light of substantially the same colour and intensity, and Are both the same size and shape, so that they are symmetrical to one another.

It does however also say yellow or white further on in manual i was wrong

what tester do you use mate?

 

[JamJay]

Easy to split them and spray them black, done it a few times now once on my old car and on a mates IS200 to de-orange his indicators in the headlight.

Oh ok, well I might have to give that a go. FK Prices seem reasonable anyway so would be worth a shot. I hope the headlamp levelling will still work.

 

[LEE69]

Pretty sure they do still work

 

[JamJay]

Great. Another item added to the wish list then Thanks

how much are the FK ones?

I've got my MOT coming up, and have 6k headlights. I'm sure the colour will be ok, its whether or not he can check they're level that I think it might be interesting on.

According to FK's website, €199 which at today's exchange rate is about £180.

anyone know if these still use the same h7,h1 bulb combination?

hate to sound nooby, but what HID's are closest to white, or aren't any? I don't want Yellow lights, but equally I don't want a blueish/purplish tint to my head lights, what would be best? probably missed a thread about this in search, but ta for the help.

My angel eyes used H1 in both hi and low, might be worth giving them a ring then let us know

4300k closest to white.

Wooo! Will be looking out for them. Thanks!

gonna be brighter over standard at least for sure though always thought 4/6 would be best for my old eyes

some guy round here same 15k or something looks like purple quality street wrappers from a distance


what's the blue like under yellow street lights etc fade much or still crisp ?

10K are not any brighter! The higher the Kelvin temp of the light, the further it goes into blue. Because the beam is so blue, the other parts of the spectrum being dissipated so you actually have less light!. Seen this done when i worked in lighting. The actual Lumen output of 10k HID is a lot less than 6K HIDs. You will also cause a lot more glare so get other drivers flashing you.

Interested to know this also as i'm just about to part with some £££.

As I just want projectors w/out the angel eye feature, which ones do I need to buy then?

They will both have the halo rings, whether you choose to connect them is up to you.

 

[JamJay]

Ok ok, I just couldn't figure why the top one was £160 and the bottom £190. The top pic seems to illustrate a hole in the High beam part for a 501 sidelight bulb so I am guessing if you wanted to connect the angel eyes, you wire them into the sidelight wiring and have both the bulb and angel eyes?

 

[LEE69]

Yes looks like an additional sidelight bulb, so you can choose between the two or have both.
Search a thread by kineticz as he has fk angel eyes and as pics.

Thanks, i'll have a look at home, all websites at work theatbe deemed as 'fun' are banned (haven't caught onto SCN though ). Going by the pics, I think i'll take the £160 option as it has the sidelight bulb option there. I just plan to fit some white LED 501's along with either 4500/6000k HIDs.
