Pure White Halos

BMWBoss · 03-15-2011, 10:08 PM

Hey guys,

I got my pure white HID halos installed this weekend and thought I'd post a few pics for you guys to see. I'm running 8000K. The install was done by MotorCepts in Queens NY (347-644-5363).

Looks slick. it's too bad the red halos aren't legal. I think the red halos looks like a monster coming down the road at night.

8000k actually has a hint of blue in it, 6000k would be pure white. Nice pics though, I am running 8000k as well.

Alpine HID's FTMFW!! I had 6k on my e92

eclipsisNA · 03-16-2011, 05:35 PM

I wouldn't install HID halos if you paid me. They all yellow the halo rings. Just a warning.

Going on 5 months.
I normally wash the car up...at least once a week...and have been making a point to inspect the halos when I do. So far...they still look as clear as the day I picked it up.

Templar · 03-17-2011, 07:19 AM

5 months isn't long enough... They will yellow in about a year probably, especially if you always have them on.

Anyway, back on topic, the lights look good man.

Guaranteed dull orange (stock) or a nice crisp, clean, look...that "might" yellow in a year or more (HID's)?
Yellow isn't too far off from orange...lol...I'll take my chances.

I agree...they do look good.

HID's will cause yellowing and browning. My fogs have had HID's in them for the past 3 years, and since I turn mine on alot, my fogs not only have a yellowish lens, but are even browning in some areas. In a foglight, where the housing doesn't cost much, this might not be a big deal, but in a headlight that costs ~$1000 each, id never take the risk for some overly bright angel eyes. Stick with LED's or halogen bulbs.
