HID Kelvin....

SgtGoldy · 03-19-2011, 04:30 PM

So I am about to retro-fit some projectors into my wifes car and drop in some HIDs. So she wanted to know what temperature of kelvin the Z is. She wants me to make it match my old Z's look. I assume its around 6000k but I could be wrong. Any experts?

The current Z is 4300K. 5800K is basically pure white while 6000K is white with just a hint of blue.

Z is 4300. I'd go with something around 6000k, the Z's lights are very yellow.
