HID lights

[svxfiles]

I put a cheap set of 55W 6000K in my son, Nick's SVX, and do not see a differance from the 35W 6000K sets that I have installed.

In my own cars I usually go with a 5000K 35W Lava Lux set.
The exception is my Claret, with a 4300K, 35W Lava Lux set.

Older eyes need more lumins.

From the picture you can see the difference. I could tell the difference as soon as I sat in the car much more light. The 55w light is also not as white.

The one I gave you had no blue in it at all.
I think the bulb I gave you was a 55w 5000k.
So it would like like the 4300k 35 color.
So, 2 steps below your 35w 6000k.

According to DDM they say the 55w washes out the color. An 8000 K looks like a 35W 6000K . So I am thinking the one you gave me was a 6000K just has a slight yellow tint, not quite pure write.

Lookin4SVX gave me Ballast and bulb that he got from SVX92 97. It lasted 2 Weeks.
Anyone having bad luck with HID headlights?

I just came in the house ,I went to remove the hid and replace it. I found the plug came apart. ( reason the light stopped working). I will save installing the new ones when it warms up so I can take my time.

New HID head light low beams installed . Was 60 today so I said what the heck . I have not driven in total darkness yet with them . I drove into work at 7:am so can't really tell yet . They are pure white and if you catch it just perfect you catch a slight blue tint . See pictures and compare. with the ones I posted last month the #0207 was the last month 35 W 6000k

I bought a DDM kit and *should* have got the normal sized ballasts and the 9006/HB4 bulb... But not only does my ballast not fit the including brackets, but the bulb won't fit in my spare headlight housing...

Spare headlight housing? My bulb is very tight fit in the low beam socket.

I got the DDM bulb/ballast years ago same size and didn't have fitment issues.
