Has Anyone Done 3K AE's with 6K Xenons??

BSM 135i · 04-22-2010, 11:37 PM

I was wondering if anyone has done 3K HID angel eyes with 6K D1S Xenon bulbs? I really like the look of 3K AE's on black but don't really like the idea of driving at night with 3K D1S Xenons. I'm not too sure what it would look like, post pics if you've done this combo!

can someone possibly photoshop the xenons to 6K in this pic so i can get a good idea of what it will look like? i have a feeling no one has ever done this combo.

It does, which is why i just picked up some 6k d1s bulbs but I also think 3k angels look sick as hell on black cars but I don't wanna drive around with yellow xenons also which is why I asked if anyone's ever done the 3k 6k combo

Might be worth just trying out. Most of the cost of the good HID kits are the ballasts. Should be able to replace the bulbs for pretty cheap if you don't like it.

true that, but i would still like to see it at least photoshopped first lol. how much are replacement bulbs for HID AE's anyways?

I think Alex@Alpine was selling them for $25 during the group buy. Probably somewhere around there.

think that would look dope, try it out. take some pics

6 would not be white it would be blue. 4300k is pure white and anything lower than that turns yellow. so if you did 6k xenons they would be blue with a 3k AE being yellow...

yeah i know that, IMO 6K looks best for xenons and 3K AE's look dope on black cars so i wanted to know what they looked like but i will know soon since i just picked up a set of 3K HID AE's from alpine.

bmore135 · 05-04-2010, 07:24 PM

thats cool, i just skimmed through the thread and thought i read someone saying you would have white so i was giving you a heads up. if you do it post some pics up, i would be interested in how this turns out.

BSM 135i · 05-04-2010, 07:35 PM

all good man! i'll for sure post pics!

1speedbike · 05-08-2010, 01:34 PM

i do! at least i have the regular xenons, which look closer to what you're talking about than the yellow headlights in the pic) i'll try to take pictures sometime today for you (they might be shitty iphone pictures though)
