ArmoredPersonel48698 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) I drive a 98 Honda CR-V (just thought I'd fill you guys in on what I'm in). I've gotta admit, out of all of the older cars that I have driven, my CR-V has the shittiest lighting out of all of them. Old ass yellow halogens that only let me see 50+ feet in front of me. I'm looking to get HID's but I'm not sure what color to get. I want improved visibility and lighting. The "cool" factor in my mind isn't really that big of a deal. I want as much light as I can get. If there's a hint of blue, cool. I don't want 100& blue or any other color for that matter. I'm looking for the brightest light I can get. EDIT: Is it color, or temperature? I know they're measured in Kelvin (correct?), so is it temp or color or both?

somerandomguy Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 4300k produces the most lumens This. Considering my car is a Hi-Low system, is this what I'd be looking at getting? http://www.futurevisionhid.com/catalog/pro...d/33/category/9 Yes, if your car uses H4 bulbs then that's exactly what you need.
