If you got 6000k or 6500k, there must be at least a hint of color and if it isn't blue then what hint of color do they have? Unless you got 4300k.....

Color is for ricers! lol 4300k is the best and brightest light output there is possible to the human eye. h8te h8te h8te... you know me...

4300k is not the optimum. its more yellow than white. most places have been the same at saying that somewhere between 4300k -8000k is the best. i picked right in between. if anything i just wanting a hint of blue but now that its white i really like it. when they first start up its a lil blue for like 10 seconds. then it goes away.

Even stock vehicles that have 4300k HID's have some sort of color output. The projector itself causes it to project different colors in fact. Just watch a Nissan Maxima or a Cadillac Escalade comin at you or any other stock vehicle that has HiD's with a projector. It will flip flop back forth from blue to purple and sometimes other colors. I know its not the bulb but either way it has color....So is that "stock" rice? I also question why it is the manufacturers didn't make a projector that projects colorless light since complete "white" light from 4300k is supposedly optimal. My questions are not necessarily educated but they are logical. So please help me out on what my eyes are seeing. All stock projectors seem to project colored light. Bretty brett couldn't afford projectors so I purchased an HID bulb that would project a little color without a projector so it might look like all the stock vehicles that have HID's at least a little bit. So in a way, you can say I went for a stock look.

yeah i had a talk with one of my buddies today about hids. stock on most cars they have a 4300k set but the projectors are what twist it to blue. 4300-8000 are the optimum colors so i chose in the middle but we all got in that range so all of ours should be roughly the same output just different colors. i wanna compare our lights.

I knew it was the projector that created the different colors but either way, color is color whether it is created by the projector or the bulb itself. And what is the definition of ricer? Cuz I'm confused. Without knowing the exact definition of it, I would have to say without a doubt that it is obviously a definition that is up for interpretation because everyone seems to have interpreted it differently. And this is fine but as we all know, interpretations quickly turn into opinion and opinion is not at all a definition of anything nor does it make something right or wrong.

Well said 'ole wise one'.

Very informative read on HIDs, and the truth why anything higher than 4300k is useless.

So the million dollar question is now: Why do BMW & Audi lights appear blue when they use a white bulb?

Well, this coloration is the result of the light projectors; the lenses: it's transparency, it's curvature, the tiny grooves etched into it; the projector assembly, the shield, and the reflector bowl. All these components work together to produce a signature of light unique to that particular optic's design. On the Audi and BMW projectors, the lens curvature at the edge bends the white light producing a "prism effect". White light is broken down to it's fundemental colors. Since blue lights is high energy, it is absorbed last and thus travels farther. So with this prism effect, you'll notice that BMW HIDs are only purple and blue from the sides, the top, and the bottom edges, but are always daylight white on the road and in the beam pattern. This phenomenon can be demonstrated when you watch an oncoming BMW hit a pot hole or speed bump in the road and the car's nose pitches up and down. The headlights will flicker and "throw colors off", but returns to a solid white beam pattern directly on the road."

4300K = daylight white, the optimal light the human eye can recieve.

it feels like a different car, more aggressive. yea i also have a tq dampener that i finally installed properly

[GlxyGry06Si]

HID produces a natural color of 4100K to 6000K (4100K is daylight white, and 6000K is slightly bluish white) Anything bluer requires the use of light-dimming color filters

so i guess i chose correctly then. i will show you tonight but i cant see any blue in mine.

ok. Very deep and scientific. Nice. What the color is created by or why it does it the way it does doesn't change the fact that our eyes are seeing or I guess a more educated word would be "perceiving" colors coming from these headlights. I'm happy everyone knows all the reasons why these headlights have color but no one has yet to dispute that they are in fact seeing colors coming from them. I suppose more people would like my "colored" headlights if there was a more in depth scientific reason why it emits a bluuish color.
