8000k hid will still output more luems than regular halogen. but the light color is useless to the eyes than the halogen

Re: Don't know if i should? HID?

yea, but dont get 8000k. its gay.

6000 is the highest you should go.

any for the record, there is no such thing as JDM projectors.

Re: Don't know if i should? HID?

It's not gay, it's ricey, don't confuse the terms.

The only way anyone should go HID is with HID projectors, HID in a reflector housing will never give great light output and always looks bad.

interchangeable in some contexts perhaps, but given the route definition of the word in those contexts it's really nothing more than a desensitized homophobic slur. It's not a word that should be used by anyone to describe something negative, especially educated people with vocabularies that offer them ample alternatives.

Re: Don't know if i should? HID?

I work with a lot of gay people, i have 2 gay managers, another gay employee, and a couple that are Bi.

They call eachother gay and a bunch of other words that mean gay, all the time ... and they don't care when i use it. I've never met a homosexual who got offended when i used the term improperly... unless they said they cared but then told me they really didn't.

But either way thats completely off topic.

Re: Don't know if i should? HID?

Re: Don't know if i should? HID?

I suppose it depends on the social circle; I'm offended by it as are most of my gay, lesbian, bi-sexual friends and family when it's used in that context.

whatevs, I said my piece.

Anything above 6000k is dumb and that increases exponentially as the K rating increases.

Re: Don't know if i should? HID?

Best thing to do is ask your questions one at a time, let people respond then ask another.

You live in Ontario so I would advise against a cold air intake unless you get a water shield or bypass, driving through a puddle can suck water straight into the engine and hydrolock it. I'd suggest buying a short ram intake instead, the best set-up for that is a ebay pipe with a denso filter. Whether K&N, AEM, Injin or some anonymous chinese company makes the pipe doesn't matter, the filter is the important part.
