Default RE: How to Replace D2R HID Bulbs

Let me explain: I am going to install oem HID; at the moment my relay of low beam (FET) has the following data:

8627A001
73315
510

According to diagrams of service manual, relay low beam for HID is different, that reason my question since you have HID. In my country there is no HID, not even as option, and the detailer does not have anything about it (HID). Thank´s. . .

Our systems are completely different. You probably have DRL's in your low beam, mine are in the fogs. Sorry I cant help.

This write up was only how to replace the bulbs, not go from halogen to hid conversion...

yes i know the stock is 4300k but it also has hint of blue. I just want to know that the 6000k is as bright or brighter than the 4300k? I know it will give out more blue.

Yes stock are 4300k in temperature. The thing about bulbs is depending on the temperature reading will determine the color it provides. Our eyes see more light in the 4000k-5000k (pure white with little yellow). And most OEM setups are around 4500k. The higher temperatures like 8000k are a bluer light where our eyes cannot pick up all the light. Lower degree like 3000k is really yellow as you can see. This is good for changing contrast (like huntingglasses). Theseare mostly used on fog lights, because they are lowto the ground and can help cut throughfog/snow to bring outsomething that has more contrast.... like the road.

So if you want the brightest bulbs, the stock hid ones arepretty good. And they are madeby Phillips. The reasons why people wonder to bulbs like 6000k and 8000k is for that bluer look, stricktly for aesthetic purposes. As a side note though, the higher quality bulbs like Phillips, PIAA(just to name a few) are going to have the highest performance across all bulb temperatures. You get what you pay for.... After one year my cheap $50 Japanese 6000k bulbs had faded. I replaced them with the original stock ones and right away could tell how much light I was missing....

I think a good pair of 5000k bulbs would be the best of two worlds. Good light output (temperature) with that diamond white/blue look.
