Yeah. there is probably some mathematic formula you can use and plot in the different factors, but I don't know.

It would be an interesting experiment though... Are you going to start a journal?

I was a police officer for three years and headlights on the vehicles need to be clear white or amber in color. When I installed HID on the car before I bought my Fit I bought 8,000K HID because anything more than that is not legal. HID's with 10,000K have bluish color to them and that is not considered to be legal from traffic law perspective. I hope this helps

Order the Kaixen 5000K kit from Excelerate Performance. You'll definitely be happy with the product. It is not a cheap HID kit. Most people that have problems buy cheap kits. Make sure to buy the harness. http://www.excelerateperformance.com/


My 2 cents on this matter....

KEY FACTS:

1. These are 100% genuine Made in South Korea.

2. Kaixen HID kits were first sold using Philips / Matshu****a ballasts and bulbs starting in 1999. Since then, Kaixen has recieved its own license as well as hiring several key engineers from Germany to develop its own high quality ballast / bulbs since 2002.

3. Only company other than Philips to develop the diamond-cut bulbs.

4. Kaixen is ISO2001 registered, E13 certified, KQA quality assurance certified.

5. All Kits are made direct from the factory, and are not "re-based" as most Philips HID kits are made.

6. Fit and finish quality is second to none.

7. Quality comparable to if not better than OEM material.

8. Comes with 1-year full replacement warranty (only shipping back to Dallas, Texas).

I continue to be disgusted by the amount of misinformation out there. When I spend my money on something I do research before I buy. I don't just go sticking incorrect parts on my car. It's so disgusting how it has become 'cool' to stick wheels with the incorrect offset on cars and headlamps of the incorrect design in the incorrect reflector. ITS NOT COMPLICATED - HID LIGHTS DO NOT GO IN A HALOGEN PROJECTOR/reflector (like the one that came with you car) SO PLEASE STOP DOING THAT SHIT. but I suppose this crap isn't going away any sooner than hellaflush is. Retrofitting isn't even that expensive anymore if you can find cheap projectors from a salvage yard. Just pay your dues and bake your headlights in the oven if you must have HIDs.
