Try to play nice, kiddies.

All the bickering ain't gonna change anybody's thought of what's right and/or wrong.

The need for light is an individual need. Four decades ago I could see as well at night with the headlamps turned on or off. Now, 600 watts of combined hibeams, lowbeams and driving lamps is almost enough to do the job. Might burn the paint of the traffic signs, but what the heck!

Bought them for my foglights though, although now I'm thinking about going with 3000k.

Also, at 7000k the lights are blue and at certain angles purple-ish. My friend has these on his car and wants to change 'em out...

Camber is your friend with low offsets
Thanks for the advice. Do you plan on selling your 6k?

It sounds like you either got duped into buying something you didn't ask for, or you have a very skewed view on reality. If the lights have the kelvin rating you say they do, they're most definitely not bright.

wow, that is nice.. never really seen 12000K bulbs in blue before.. alot of them are turning so purple/violet that it's simply disgusting~

but thats real nice! and i always think headlights doesn't need to be thaaaaat bright if u r in the city..cause u think headlights really need to shine the road when there are so many street lights and other cars? IMHO~

Well they're definitely blue. Somehow I just can't seem to believe they are actually 12000k.. Maybe closer to 9000-10000k.. If blue is your thing, go for it.. BTW you gotta change up those DRL's... I disconnected mine but you could try changing the bulbs..

I don't see how they can be 12000K either. I had a buddy put 8000K bulbs in his car and it was definitely purple and he couldn't see anything.

Those aren't 12000k. for sure. I've spent enough time in physics labs photographing visible light spectrums to know that.

And littlehandegan if you think you are going to teach rally a thing or two... you're mistaken. Pick on some one your own size... you can probobly find them in the local Honda tuner club.
