The 10K has a much brighter "blue" and white than that of my 6K. These are awesome.

They are also available in Hi/Low H4. I am running the Low H4 only. Other sizes are available in 4300K, 5600K, 7500K and 10K.

are those true hids or are they look-a-likes. Because it doesn't matter what kind of bulbs you have if they are true, a whole converson needs to be installed to get true hids. Its seems as if you just replaced the bulb.

Interesting... I was under this impression:

5200K = True Xenon HID - Bright white
6000K = Bluish
8000K = Purpleish

Never heard of 10000K before...

I too was under the same impression. But when the rep came by to demo the lights... All I know is the 10K is nicer than that of my 6K. My 6K were more purple, and I was wanting a more blue/white. So when I saw the 10K, I bought the demo set on the spot.

I am a distributor, so if any of you guys want to arrange a group buy, let me know. (I AM NOT SOLICITING A COMMERCIAL AD FOR THESE, but a group buy).

I heard that HID kit need to be recognized by the car computer?
Is it true or the guy just BS? As far as your 6000K HID, will it work on a 1996 E320?. :confused: ;)

The only think that it needs to recognize is 12 volts of electricity! Computer? Was he trying to up-sale you on something you didn't need????

It would look great, but I don't think your 96 E320 runs a H4 bulb???

[kameraguy]

So how much are these bad boys anyway?

[MrSpace]

I realy prefer the new color

the 6k were really too purple for my tastes

The HID kit comes with the bulbs or you just plug it on the stockies bulbs H4?

[Dr. ///AMG]

nice stuff!

Complete kit with bulbs. It is not the ballast that performs the color, but it is about the HID bulb that you use.

I think you blow up stock bulbs with such kit. Don't try this!

[Tinman]

can I put this HID kit on my stock NON-EURO headlights from a '91 w124? If so, I might be interested. . . depending on price, of course.

Thats 10,000 K kit of your actually very very similar to my Bosch Xenon Light (Euro Spec)

It is blueish white.. (no purple at all)

(edit: PS The only way to make a valid comparison of 6000K vs. 10,000 K only within the same manufacture (ballast and bulb).
The reason I am saying this, who know for what's it's worth your one brand of 4300K actually brighter than other brand 6000K.
But if you can stick using the same brand for comparison, then it would make more sense. just my $0.02)

looking good..i like it, but the only problem with our cars, is that you cannot get the best look cause they do not have the clear headlights...but i like it

Isn't there a problem with where the light shoots? I mean the lense of the car would refract the light differently?

Sometimes you might get really scattered light patterns which is really annoying for other drivers on the road. But if you don't care about that, then you should have no problems.

I just installed the Hella Blue 12v 007-760-47 Xenon lights, in my 98 C-Class. The lights look great but I was looking for more of a purple/lavender illumination. Do you know if Hella even makes them in any other colors then blue? If they do since I already have the kit I would just replace the bulbs. I do not know two much about Xenon / HID lights and was wondering if you guys could help me out. I want my lights to look identical to the mercedes (stock) Xenon lights. I don't know if they are purple or blue, maby I am just color blind! Sometimes when i look at them I see lavender/ Blue, and white. Its hard to tell what kind mercedes used in the previous C-Class Xenons'.



What kind are the Hella lights ?

5200K ?
6000K ?
8000K ?

I don't know to much about Xenons and was hoping someone could help me out.
thanks guys
