Thanks for the pic. Really looking forward to getting mine even more now.![]()
35w HID kit from DDM 9005 6K Lumens for my '02 RT/10...Taken with my Blackberry camera. Not the best photo, but they are really bright. 2 weeks so far and no flicker and no issues whatsoever. I may switch to a lower lumen...maybe 4500 or 5000...they seem a little brighter and no blue tint to them. But for now, they will do.
I'm also in the market for HIDs for my low beams and fogs. I want to make sure that I'm understanding your post correctly...Are you saying that you notice the blue tint with the 6000K and that the 4500K/5000K bulbs are brighter?
I think the comment about the higher K numbers not being as bright actually meant that they do not ********* the darkness as well as the 'whiter'/cooler lights.
URHuckleberry , your Iphone creates a lot of magenta when it's getting dark outside ,so take another shot of the 6K bulb and a lower K bulb later if you're going to replace the unit for comparison.
One thing to be aware of and careful with LED lights is they generate just as much heat, if not more then standard bulbs but the heat is more focused in a single area and not all standard setups have enough heat dissipation to keeps things at their optimum level.I like it thanks. My son has a bunch of LED'
s from VisionX on his FX Level II Ford Ranger he likes offroading with.Those are even more efficient with same wattage as the HID ,drawing very little power from the battery and it lights up the scenery like a movie set![]()

If you drive with your foglights on all the time don't put hids in them. I just upgraded mine and man the light is all over the place, you will definitely get a ticket. If you only use them for fog then definitely add them.
My fogs are HID and have been since I got it a little over a year ago. If my headlights are on, the fogs are on too. Haven't gotten pulled over for it yet.
When you say 'all over the place' is that due to the fogs vibrating and moving around with the bottom of the fascia? I haven't noticed my fogs changing their focal point at all. Maybe because I don't drive very fast at night?![]()
My fogs were already installed, so they must be a complete set with the projector/reflector already designed for the HID bulb rather than putting an HID bulb in a non-HID enclosure.
Well knock me over with a feather! I didn't know that. Guess when I run out of things to fool with, I'll have to pull the fogs and see what I can do with them. Next time I'm out at night I'll pay a little more attention to the altitude that the fogs reach for. Never had anyone flash their their brights at me, so they can't be too bad.
...The foglights have a deflector but it has to be bent up to allow the hid bulb to fit...
