Headlights and Fog lights

[matt911]

Hello im in desperate need of replacing all my light on my 182.

I want all the front to be fully white looking, not blue but id consider it.

Side lights and fog lights are both yellow, need replacement wheres best place? Halfords sell the ultra bright white but dont think there that cheap.

And the HID's are ok i think as standard temp which if im correct at 4300k? Not sure

Some pictures on google show 6000k fully white but others shows 6000k slightly blue.

While others show 4300k kind of yellow...

​Need some solid facts please

Here's a accurate colour chart (IMO)

I won't advise you about which bulbs to get a whiter light from your fogs, high beam and sidelights, as I usually go for light output rather than colour so wouldn't be able to give you the best answer on that

Thats fine mate, however im not too fussed if its abit blue not biggy. As long as i can get the fogs to look the exact same who cares.

Ive just been to Halfrauds and maybe im thick but they offered a dipped headlight bulb and a main beam? Isnt it the same bulb?

6000k looks like the obviously choice unless somebody with experience can tell me that 5000k has a perfect white balance.

Oh and about the fogs. What kind of bulb are they? Halfords showed me a gas filled Xenon is that correct?

 

[DanEdser]

you realise xenon is a gas right?

he did say ' halfords ' showed him a gas filled exenon bulb.......

 

[matt911]

Yes i did know, ive seen around HID's which are the real deal and other Xenon filled gas bulbs that are not HID's and are pretty much pointless.

Lookie here..http://www.ebay.com/gds/difference-...non-gas-filled-bulbs/10000000004613590/g.html

 

[matt911]

But still is it 1 bulb or two because they had dipped AND main beam choices

 

[BoatNonce]

2 bulbs.

 

[matt911]

Thank you, anybody know which temperature looks closest to white?

 

[BoatNonce]

5000/5500k.

 

[DanEdser]

6000k

 

[matt911]

EFA

Look at the image at the top of the page. Which is closer to white? 5000k, or 6000k?
