the higher the K doesn't mean the brighter it is. It's the color... =)


Those tail lights look better than I thought on a white fit!

Technically, yest it's brighter, but the light is no longer usable becasue of the amount of glare. Think about having a house hold light with a dimmer. When it's dim, you can see lots of stuff, but if it's TOO bright, you need to squint your eyes so that you can focus properly

TOMIGUNZ is right...the higher the k temperature is more color less light. But damn, I aint needing more light though lol....no glare by the way..theyre perfect..pictures sometimes dont do justice, same as for the taillights. When my dsl gets fixed ill post much more pics, cant do so now bcuz o this lame ass dialup.
thanks for ur time.

Depending on the brand you get. Usually its a deep blue. They look like tthat in the pics 1. it was in daytime 2. dont matter how expensive the camera is, colors always look diff than real.
These are kind of a blue with some purple and with a bright white too

10,000k is more blue than I thought. I'm going to try some 12ks. I want something with a deep purple color. Kinda like the Audi cars..

im going crazy taking pictures to see if i can achieve one that would actually look like it does with your own eyeballs.
in daylight, you can see more purple than blue, its actually not that sky blue. But anyways I am still considering getting 12000k's bulbs too since that purple you say in a white car looks way too nice as in a pic i saw. Anyways, this is the same brand as yours and they call this 10000k a "Brilliant Blue"

4300K...6000K...10000K....12000K is the colour temperature. The higher the number, the less "visible" light is available. Because the higher the number, the closer it gets to UV, which humans cannot see. You can see that the higher the colour temperature, the less lumens it puts out...hence 4300K has the most light output, compared to 6000K+.

With that said....instead of going 12000K... check out 30,000K!! Haha!!
