Need Help instaling 10k HID bulds.

showcloser02 · 10-19-2009, 04:19 PM

I'm gonna be installing 10k hid bulbs on a 06 330xi. Any help would be appreciated. The first time I tried the front low beam light malfunctioned. Had to bring to BMW and replace the control module on that side. I think that part was on its way out because the light on that side was brighter than the other. and now they look the same.

check the Watts.
But do you see anything at night with 10k bulbs?

10K, or did you mean 10,000K?

Assuming the latter, why wouldn't you go with something closer to ~5000K?

I like the color of the 10000k

My bad I meant 10000k

You do realize the higher the kelvin (beyond the nominal ~4200-5000K) the ricier they'll look, and at the same time deminish your actual usable light?

Why 10000K, so dim and purple
