Re: Green Headlights on my trans am
was hoping for a black car No offense, they do look cool though, would just look cooler on a black car, and more of an actual green.

Re: Green Headlights on my trans am
Mind linking me to the hid kit you have? Looking to replace my dull setup on my 86.

Re: Green Headlights on my trans am
It is a common misconception that higher colour temperatures (K’s) produce brighter lights. This is not true. The colour temperature only determines the colour but not the brightness of the HID light. The Colour Temperature is simply a scale represented by the Kelvin Temperature Chart (hence the abbreviation “K” or “K’s”) as decpited above that measures the colour of the light output. Typically, the higher the colour temperature, the closer you get to achieving bluish to purplish light colours.
so they would be brighter than incandescents.....

Re: Green Headlights on my trans am
The most effective HIDs have a temperature of 4300-6000K.
Put in a set of 4300K white lights, then a set of 10,000K purple lights and tell me which ones provide better light output.
Logic would follow that the whitest light would yield the best visibility. Hence, mid-range HIDs yield the best output.

Re: Green Headlights on my trans am
true...although
The 10000K HID Bulb has an approximate output of 2200 lumens. You will have to sacrifice a little bit of brightness (still more than 2 times brighter than a standard halogen bulb) compared to the lower K outputs.
so i stand by my previous statment

Re: Green Headlights on my trans am
it looks like he was trying to match the fogs, but things went wrong
would be cool for show, but defiantly not something to use on the street.
and BTW, i thought 10k was purple? why are your lights white (from the other thread?

10000K: Bluish-green light
12000K: Bluish-purplish light.

12000K: Bluish-purplish light.

Could only think of the Black Beauty from Green Hornet when I saw this. I like. Again, not very practical probably, but still cool.

Re: Green Headlights on my trans am
Kind of cool. I'd never do it to mine and I hope you don't cruise around like that. Just asking to get ticketed, but it's a cool experiment.
