Has anyone heard of any issues with putting 8000k hid kits into the 06 wk? I thought I heard something about burning up the factory harness? Figured I'd ask around before I spent a couple dollars to f the oe harness up.
No thats not true, and its perfectly fine. Some people are going to tell you to put them into projectors, however, many people put them into their stock halogen housing
LOL had is the key word lol....... I would stick with 5000k-6000k if you want a blue tint. The higher the temp the less light output. I just recently went from 5000k to stock temp and i love it!
lol it will work but you will look like a tool using it. As long as you use 35w no matter what "K Temperature" you get they will generate less heat than the stock bulbs. Be responsible and stick between 4300k-6000k. I would say 6K is the best choice for you if you still want good output with the color that says "I have HID's"
talk to our vendor Xenondepot...they make one of the best HID kits there are available. They will also include relay harnesses so you dont have to worry about your oem harness. They will connect straight to the battery.
The only difference is that Chrysler started implementing projectors into their WK headlights starting with the 08 model year on select models. So Halogen and HID were offered with HID being an optional "luxury" option.
lol it's hard to tell, Their was a guy selling a full set with the D1S HID included for like $800-$900 for all of it in the for sale section on here. It might be cheaper to do a retrofit yourself and you'll probably get better results.
thats great and all, but lets face it, im not as handy as i thought in that department.. i can do the lifts and shit probably even lowering if i tried, but lighting and electrical isnt my deal.. id spend to much money f'n up! :x
Yeah, like I said when I had a setup similar to that in my WJ I was hardly flashed but then again the driver could just not want to take the time to flash.
Well Philips is known for their quality bulbs and set the standard with their D2S 85122. I'm sure Xenon Depot bulbs are good quality in their own right.
Yes, but if you get the Volt kit I'm sure the bulbs are still of somewhat good quality.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there an Xtreme kit that is only offered in 4300k with Philips bulbs and then another Xtreme kit offered in several colors that use Philips bulbs?
dude i have 8500k's, they look sick, have had them for over a year and had zero problems, you'll be good as long as you get a quality set, no cheap e-bay crap, got mine at xenondepot, they were like $400
Well that may be, but 3/4 of the time when someone chooses a Kelvin temp that high they are leaning more towards form than function. Someone who truly cares about good lighting stays between 4300k-6000k.
well my brother bought the same kit for his wk but he got the 6k instead of the 8k, side by side they're just as bright, mine just have a little more blue to them. realisticly a good kit is a good kit regardless of what k it is
You can't over pay when it comes to quality. DDM might seem like a good seller and I have used them but their bulbs are s***, their ballasts are alright and the "lifetime warranty" is only good if the seller still exists as a business.
so the blue-ish tint to my headlights is somehow unsafe for other drivers? as i said before my brother and i have the same kits except his is 6k mine 8k, side by side mine are no brighter just a little bluer. as for my safety its great, just as great as it would have been had a bought 4k. so while i appreciate your concern for everyones saftey, you are coming off as a p***k. i get the most out of my kit "its all good"
1) Yes it's unsafe and not just for other drivers. The human eye cannot perceive blue that well and it's a proven fact that blue light causes eye fatigue.
2) While yes the Lumen difference between 6K and 8K is marginal it's still a couple extra hundred Lumen.
3) A 4K would've allowed you to see more so the 8K is not as great as the 4K.
4) While I may be a p***k but just because it's "all good" doesn't mean it's "all good" for your eyes or other drivers eyes.
