It's not necessary to be condesending just because you have more experience than most here with retrofits. Everyone had to start somewhere.

I started a thread to ask how to make my retrofits not crappy like most everyone else. It's a forum. That's what we do.

That said, they don't seem to be the end-all for my personal needs. If you have a personal vendetta against that, then...well, they're called your problems. I'm not trying to start a beef, and I even thanked you for the help in the other thread, so I don't know why you're on my nuts about my opinion of projectors.

So all in all the 5000k are good? Sorry imma noob :/

Betrivent · 01-14-2012, 07:44 PM

500k is closest to white you're going to get.

kngabby · 01-14-2012, 08:13 PM

I want lights with a blue tint but i cant seem to find one that i wont get a ticket for.

Betrivent · 01-14-2012, 08:19 PM

Well as I've said before, ANY HID you put in is technically illegal, so do whatever colour you want. 6000k is your best bet if you want it blue-ish

kngabby · 01-14-2012, 08:22 PM

Ok thanks :)

thebarber · 01-15-2012, 04:34 PM

4300k is what i prefer

If you live in a harsh condition state where is raining all year long or foggy most of the time , 5K is your best option out there, but like me in Georgia i am ended up with 6000K because it's give me the whitest color out there without any blue or yellow in there., any AC or Can-bus ballast out there will put 6000K into purewhite no blue or blue at all, stay away from cheap ballast another word DC Ballast will shift color.

I lived in Orlando (Sanford to be exact ) and never had an issue with my 6000k's. just adjust the lights down, and move them to the center.

kngabby · 01-16-2012, 06:55 PM

Did you use projectors with them?

_S7V7N_ · 01-16-2012, 07:14 PM

Loll you're gonna get me flamed but, no.
