[JacK_90]

do i need d1s? d3s? d4s?

 

[CaptainFail]

You'll need D2S!

 

[Joe#]

As above D2S.

Most people go for 6000k lamps as they offer the most light.

As above D2S.

are these the correct ones??

[Joe#]

Yeah, they are the right ones.

They are 4150k, so they will be the same colour as they were from the factory.

The ones you was looking at were Osram. The ones on the left you can choose the temperature

Bargain to be honest! I've had a set of these in my car for well over a year and they're still working as well as the day I put them in. :approve:

 

[JacK_90]

the higher the number is obv the brighter they go? with the 10k are they like hid bright and do they look stupid?? or is the best bet going for the 6k ones as said above?

 

[Joe#]

10k will be blue basically (Chavy) lol.

6k is a nice white, with a very slight blue colour. And offers the best lighting levels

 

[JacK_90]

cheers mate youve helped alot. be buying these on friday (payday) haha

love the white of the standards so a little brighter will look better

As above D2S.

I don't think that's correct, re. the light output.

 

[Joe#]

That's what I've always been told to be honest (on here too). Maybe I'm wrong.
