Reflectors don't have a defined cutoff. Any projector has a refined cutoff.
That's the main difference between them.

Nighttime/darkness pictures! I can barely see it! They look whiter than my 6000k's though.


On another note, nice bronze Si rims. Adds a unique touch.

Judging from your brake lights, I'm assuming over-exposure? Nice effect if so.

If not, I'll be sure to call you if I ever need some extra lighting.

They seem crazy bright. Unless by some perchance that they're projectors.

Nope. just slow shutter speed on camera. it retains all light. it was pitch black when we took these pics. look at the sky, dont look it. my lights are still pretty damn close to this brightness though.

Oh yeah, well by overexposure I meant either a wider aperture lens or longer shutter speed. Either way, what temperature are you running if I may ask? I want to say 6000K or 6500K. They don't look blue enough to be 8000K and not white enough to be 4300K.

It's a nice looking picture nonetheless. I want to see what my lights would look like with a longer shutter speed and whatnot.

Looking good Yours look a lot brighter than my 6000K's. Pictures make my lights look a lot more blue though. Is that the same with yours?




Every time I walk up to them, they seem a lot more white. Maybe it's my camera that makes it look more blue than they really are.

Not the best pics of mine but you can still see the color.
6500K Xenondepot.com HID's
It's weird. They look more blue in the first pic but the second pic is how they really look.
