Good chance you will get the alert with any LED if you have tried some already.

 

This one is 4100K LED Bulbs?



This one is 4200K regular bulbs??


Correct me if I am wrong Atomic! Thanks.

 

Other way around halfway. First image is a LED 4200k bulb and second picture is a regular 4100k light bulb.

 

do they last long enough?
i had those and last me about 6 months...:/
i mean i know it's just light "mod" and is very cheap but just wondering if you had any exp with it.

 

Hoens bulbs are covered by a 1 year replacement plan. But even if you have to replace them every once in a while its worth it in the looks department.
These look outstanding, especially on that color of car!

 

Jason, did you say your HIDs were replaced with 6000K bulbs? Do they burn hotter than the stock bulbs? I was thinking about swapping bulbs to 8000K, but was worried about melting the housing. I know they use 35W, but to get the blue hue color, don't the bulbs burn hotter?

 

35w bulbs will generate similar heat, the kelvin temperature rating is not related to temperature 'heat' that melts plastic parts so no problems there.

 

Yes...I know that. I also know that the higher the COLOR temperature, the lower the intensity. But what I also know, is that every HID bulb designed is produced by either Osram-Sylvania or Phillips. And neither company produces a bulb higher than 5800K. When aftermarket companies offer a color of 6000K, 8000K, 10000K, or even 12000K, they have essentially taken an OEM bulb from Sylvania or Phillips and modified the bulb.

So again...I ask...does anyone know if a 8000K bulb (hence MODIFIED bulb) burns hotter than the stock bulb?

 

Very nice touch!
Now it looks even more cool

 

Your incorrect, there are a number of factories in China, Korea and Japan making HID bulbs for over 5 years. These are not modified Osram, Philips etc. as in some retrofit HID kits you might be getting confused with.

 

Okay...I guess I should have clarified...Every HID bulb used in USDM, JDM and european market that is DOT certified, is from Osram and Phillips.

 

GE also make DOT approved HID bulbs.

 

They do? http://genet.gelighting.com/LightPro...NEL=Commercial

Anyways...Anyone else have an opinion? My understanding was that a higher Kelvin color required the gases inside the fused alumina tube to heat at a higher point, creating a different color as the metal elements strike the tungsten electrodes. Even if the energy rating is only 35 watts, I thought this produced more heat.

 

Why yes they do.

I stand corrected.
