lol some guy on the honda forum put new bulbs in his reverse light enclosure. DOUBLE the wattage.

What a bad idea...

 

[alfa147x]

I doubt it would get too hot to change the taillight but the wiring can't be suited for it

 

[zzuupp]

mmm moar beer. but they just called last call

 

[alfa147x]

I wish I could set up my projectors to a 3rd setting:
1) low
2) high
3) Death upon you!

That way the idiots who use the PnP HID kits can go to hell

wtf. Before 6 pm? on a thursday?!!

i do have a 4300k pnp kit in my 08 fg2 but when ppl flash me their high beams (sometimes) then i just flash them back with my luminics krypton jdm yellow 9005's and they immedietly turn off their brights and keep it movin..

hahahaha

hahaha i love hid just to piss people off i put HID on my DRL TOO 3000K bright yellow to piss mofos off because people think projectors are so much better. They look nice but thats it

4300K -there is an inverse relationship here, so as the K (Kelvin) rating goes up, the Lumen rating goes down. It is a common misconception that K is a measure of intensity/brightness - that is completely false. It is only a measure of the color temperature.

Again, our Morimoto ballasts are not only externally sealed from the elements, but they're "potted" internally and will literally run even submerged in water.

Potted?

Scotopic or Photoptic lumens?

Potted?

Potted in electronics refers to encapsulating a circuit with a liquid resin that becomes very hard. This protects components from shock, moisture, and other physical damage. It can make servicing difficult to impossible depending on the capsule or pill size chosen and physical installation.

How would one know? That quote was referring to HID lamps for a car's projectors

Ah cool.

i just refilled mine and now have no beer brewing... i better fix that this weekend or i could run out in a few weeks!!!

Capsule
Commonly used interchangeably with just "bulb" - the capsule is technically the little glass bubble inside the HID bulb that houses the halide salts.

We call 'em arc tubes.

When comparing color temps the higher ones will appear to be dimmer but an unweighted sensor will still reveal high efficacy. Problem is eyes don't work this way. Color rendition index also is degraded with higher color temps. The effective range is reduced (for human eyes) as well.

Say you had a car. What temp would you choose?
What if you had to choose one of these: 3000K, 4300K, 5000K and 6000K?
