Re: Question About Hids

you would get h3 for that. just realize that the output is gonna suck in a h3 projector. also, at 10,000k, thats almost the same lumen of halogen. maybe try something around 6k. will still have some blue, but you will actually be able to see with them

agreed. you need H3's, but 10k is gonna look like crap. way too blue. you might as well buy some blue halogens off ebay. they'll be about as bright. other thing is that HID kits are illegal and you'll draw lots of attention from the cops with those blue lights. if you want the appearance of blue, but be able to see with white light, then you need to do a retro. check out www.hidplanet.com for how to do that.
