PIAA claim highest K rating on the market. That's BS. There is already 10,000k and 12,000k on the market. PIAA is only at 6600K?

Here are some pics of stock to 8000k comparison. The one on the right is 8000k.

Why is blue rice? It's the German that started the whole thing. BMW, Audi, and Porsche been having blue in the lights forever. The reason for the blue color was for the ultra viotet output that let drivers see further without adding more glare to the on coming traffic.

Me? I just love the blue

 

Here is the light color comparison on the wall.

Yes, the light output is less. But I'm willing to live with it.

Notice the pattern changes a bit too.

Silly advice. PIAA sux. Nice job on pushing a product that no one should get. stick to tires eh?

The only OEM suppliers of HID bulbs is Philips and Sylvania. Stick what all the manufacturers supply with their cars. 6000K is the highest offered by Philips and yes they are called the Ultinons.

You guys gotta realize that the higher you go, the more fake it gets and that barney purple action contributes to fatigue.

 

hey there barney,

higher K is NOT better. It's worse. It's fake *** tints applied to the bulb which is a very cheap way to go about getting things done. blue fuqs with your eyes too.

BMW, Honda, Audi, Porsche, Toyota... they all use 4300K foo. it's the projector working in conjunction witht he bulb that creates that blue. it's not BLUE/violet all the time like your skin color.

The common mistake some people here is that all these high kelvin rated bulbs are the shizzle. Well, they couldn't be more wrong. The higher you go in kelvin, the less light and lumens you'll have. Pratically anything over 6k is really a waste if your at all concerned with your safety and brightness of lighting. So what is the best bulb out there then you ask? 4100-4300k. It has the most lumens out of all the HID bulbs produced. Thats why car manifacturers still use them today. Below is a graph showing you the variances of the light spectrum. As you can see, 4100k would be right where the "sweet spot" is on that chart. It produces near to the suns same kelvin thus giving you daylight-like output. Think of it like this, high kelvin bulbs would be like being out in the sun with sunglasses on vs a 4100k being in the sun w/o glasses on.

 

+1. Nicely said. I would really suggest going with the Philips Ultinons if you want to get the "blue" color...

But for me, I will still get the 85122+ bulb from Philips which is their 5000K bulb.

 

Stay stock here. As mentioned in an earlier post, the bluish light definitely contributes to driver fatigue.

 

It's not too blue. It's got some blue and violet in it. Compared to the yellowish stock bulbs, this one is much nicer on the car and the output is almost the same.

 

By the way, the sun looks yellow to me. Do you see it as white?

 

quit pushing product dude.

everyone, stick to phillips ultinons if you really want that bluer look. else, just stay stock. do you really want barney lights?
