$pecial_K Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 yeah, any higher than that and they start to get a blue tint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 If you're getting them to "look cool" then the higher temp the betterIf you're getting them to see better, then you want to stick with < 4500K. The more green/yellow the light is, the better your eye can see and distinguish it in a low light situation.Why do you think nearly all the night vision goggles output light in the green spectrum?

Jcroz91 Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 i want the color that come on luxery cars. thats white with a slight slight hint of blue for looks and better vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 so for the look cool factor then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcroz91 Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 well i want it to be bright too. cause i have a smoked visor on my helmet. so it helps haveing brighter lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattKatz Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Or you could not use a smoked Visor at night like a numbnuts.Just a thought.But you would be happy with a 5K or 6K....Both are definately a nice "HID" look while still making a drastic improvement in the light output.

Disclaimer Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 well i want it to be bright too. cause i have a smoked visor on my helmet. so it helps haveing brighter lightsThen, like I said get lights 4500K or less (though the stuff I've read said up to 5200K is ok). Their output is going to be in the green/yellow spectrum - not the blueish tint you see on high end luxury vehicles.Don't mix the terms color (Temp in Kelvin), with brightness (lumens).Further reading....Human vision Test (Navy) - if you don't understand it, just go the chart on page 4. Peak eye sensitivity at 555nm (GREEN light)From the E46 forums:Taken from CA auto-tech's website... just from people asking too many times"KELVIN RATINGSTo set the record straight on Kelvin ratings as applied to HID : * Kelvin is a measure of color temperature and NOT the actual lighting power or output * It is generally accepted that the best Kelvin rating for optimal human night vision is between 3800 and 5500 K * All our 35 W HID kits run at 4100 K , and our 50W Racing kits are available at 4000 TO 5500 K * Anything over 5750 K and human vision and depth perception is significantly reduced * Anything over 6000 K and the actual lighting output/power reduces exponentially* Many companies claim to offer 8000- 12000 K Bulbs ...if this were true the headlight would shine DARK BLUE TO EVEN DARKER PURPLE !! (and they do...) "So people, 5.5K-6K is the limit until your sight starts to degrade.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSVDon Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Good news. Your Gixxer uses a projector lens for its low beam. The reason you get that bluish tint but still project white light is due to the curvature of the lens in the headlight. So, since I don't have the time to basically explain, short answer is buy a 55 watt 4500K kit. It'll be bright white and have that bluish color from certain angles. And make sure that you aim the headlight correctly after installing it. Oh and it will cost roughly $60 I think. Don't go 35 watt, go 55 watt.

Jcroz91 Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 so which should i get? dual or single beam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f4isvt Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 single beam thats why you have 2 seperate lights for low/high. I have 4300 and absolutly love them. super bright and a perfect match to benz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
