The HID conversion makes a HUGE difference to the light output, but the kit is not the best with the Falcon Headlights.

I have had to aim my lights down heaps because of the glare from the reflectors being designed for Halogen.

I do not get flashed by oncoming traffic, now that I have the lights ajusted, it is still 10x better than stock lights.

I got the 4300k temp lights as they are very white and not a ricey blue.

Hey zap would you have any pics of your install and any other info would be great too like brands :stupid: they sound intresting

Have a look at these ones.

I would not get these lights as you would be booked by the first cop that saw you. Being 16,000k, they are VERY blue. My lights are 4,300k which is sunlight and are very white, with no blue.

Just to let you know ZAP a "k (kelvin)" isn't light. It's heat. Nearly equal to celsius but more accuate in scientific terms. Heat just makes light

By the way. 4300K isn't sunlight. Daylight ranges between 1800K & 6000K depending on the time of day. 5600K being normal midday light. So to get midday daylight, you would need a 6000-7000k filament. Daylight would be acheived at the the headlight reflectors' exact focal distance. You need a higher K filament because light disipates with length.

In my opinion, headlights shouldn't be measured by a heat scale but a light scale instead. 50000 LUX thereabouts is daylight. At least everyone would have a known scale to guage from.

Just thought I would clear that up.

Cheers
