3000k hid question

[kyle18uk]

well i want to buy a new hid kit, got 6000k at the moment and there just too blue for me, thinking of buying 3000k ones, there a golden yellow colour.

These would be ok right? pass an mot?

thanks, kyle

Ive got 6ks and they are white? Odds are that any hids wont pass an mot as your not allowed to use hid bulbs with standard halogen lenses due to the beam pattern and glare they produce.

My 6000k hids passed my MOT no problem. No advisory about them either.

My hids are white but do have quite a blue tint. But they arent blue/blue

I made a thread about it before. Everyone says they've passed with them but with my car it doesnt make the correct beam pattern, and aslong as the hids are fitted, it never will. Thats why i always swap my bulbs back and reallign them before a mot. Also legally they need to self level and have headlight wash but no one bothers with that!

And i would still like to know how everyone else got their lights correctly aligned!

I got the garage that I use to align mine up one of the times it was in getting work done and when I asked they said they were aligned and they had no problems doing it and the did align up.
