hahahahah really? Or is this a joke? Posts on NAM just keep getting funnier and funnier.
I can't see why someone would want lights that put out so few lumens? I would hope that you don't do much night driving or atleast only drive on streets that are properly lit.
At 12000k you are putting out very little visible light...Sorry to hear about your bad headlights dude But I do understand....that purple color really makes you look cool

12000k is actually in the purple range. That temperature borders on Ultra-violet light in the spectrum. So you've gone from a temperature bulb that puts out near the color of the sun to a light that puts out as much usable light as a black light (next to none)

Just because he (or she) doesn't want to be able to see where there going at night, that's their problem. Maybe they dont drive at night???
To each their own.

To each his own. One of my buddy's did the same thing and ended up taking them out because he couldn't see anything. When a V-dub guy removes bling from his car, you know it's bad
Go for those yellow fog lights. They not only look good but are functional as well Yellow HID's might be pretty cool too.

But you can get a very blue beam with 6000k bulbs and be both cool and safer at night. 4000-5000k is the best for light ouput, but the amount of lumens lost in the move to 6000k really isnt that bad and at 6000k you get a very strong blue beam. The further move to 12000k is rediculous.....you're talking about a drastic change in lumens there. Not to mention...blue headlights cool? Alright i guess.....purple headlights cool? Doubtful

I come by my lighting knowledge honestly, not just by spewing stuff I've seen on the net. For years I've worked with lighting aquariums to maximize freshwater plant and saltwater coral lighting systems. There are dozens of peer reviewed articles on the how Kelvin rating and spectrums of various bulbs effect these organisims along with how we humans view objects lit by these bulbs.
The fact remains that bulbs in the 4.3-4.5k range produce the greatest number of visible lumens. As the K rating increases or decreases the lumen output decreases in a logrhythemic scale.

come on now, you've been on NAM for 3 years you should have a thicker skin than that by now

Sorry for the "bashing"...but i really thought it was a joke. I didn't actually think someone would put 12000k bulbs in by choice.

I don't mind the folks that tease or poke fun. Rather, it's the preachers that need to lighten up.
