general lights question

3000Ks are really yellow. I think it's also due to the use of yellow glass to make the bulb. HID's last about 3 times as long as a normal halogen bulb and up to 10 years or so they say. So I'd say 3 + to 10 years. The bulb life of HIDs is 3000 hours compared to a halogens 400.

general lights question

anyone here have 3000k hids? just wondering how yellow these actually are. also, approximately how long are the hid ballasts and bulbs supposed to last?

3000k is about the yellowness of a regular light or maybe a bit more yellow. i've found depending on the mfr, it can vary greatly too.

The original color is yes about the same as a normal light but they usually pass it through a filter to produce yellow light. And since it's an HID, the intensity is a lot higher.

I got tinted bulbs too. HID fogs are a bit pricey.

i got 3000k but not HID though just normal tinted bulbs...

do you guys think its as yellow as lexus'?

nope cuz i use it on my high/drl beam on my 95...the lexus one is tinted yellow plastic or glass
