HID question

[Combine Pilot]

Does anybody running HID bulbs in their low beams have trouble with other vehicles flashing their lights at you? I want to put HID's in my low beams but don't want to if they will be way to bright. I don't want to have to change my headlights to projectors to run them either. I have HID's in projectors on my wife's vehicle but i'm not sure about running them in a reflector housing on my truck.:canada:

Guys that have them say if you re-aim them once they are installed, it takes care of this issue. I'll let you know soon enough-I hopefully have a set waiting for me when I get home from work in a couple weeks!!

Very rarely maybe once a month

What color temp are you guys running? I'm thinking of 6000k. That's what i put in my wife's vehicle and was happy with them.

 

[KEVINL]

5k

Kind of off topic here but which ones are the "whiter" light HIDs? I'm not really to keen on the blue light look or at least not the really blue light. Was thinking about a set but just haven't had that much time to look into them yet.

5 or 6K is what you want.

I run 8k in lows and fogs and get flashed with all of them on because my fogs are aimed up. I pull the cop strobe light trick and they dont flash me again :rofl::rofl:

if im behind someone, like a car or something, then i get the brakes lights. but i have clear lenses and i havent really re aimed them yet but i hardly get flashed. But if i do i flick on my Lightforce's lol

i have 8000k lows and fogs get flashed at all the time! they are shocked when i flash my brights back at them

 

[jckleewein]

I have the 8K. I don't think I have ever gotten flashed. I haven't adjusted the headlights either. I am really surprise I havent yet.

i run 4300k lows and 3000k fogs.....i have the brightest setup ive yet to see on a silverado...

i et flashed maybe once or once or twice a night but i never adjusted my angles...i like being able to see way down road...plus when they flash me i just flash em back then they're sorry:thumb:

I get flashed everyday at least twice I got 10k in low beam n bright green in fogs , I got headlight angled up a little so I can see out I might get the projectors I tired of the flashing, also I running 55w ballast n bulb in top brightest out.

 

[Combine Pilot]

Well i ordered a set of 35w 6000k HID's for my low beams. I'm gonna try them out first and then i might get some 55w 8000k's for my high beams if the lows work good.

I noticed on the new cars with HID's the driver side headlight is set low and the passenger headlight is angled higher to see father. Might give that a try
