Is there not brighter ones ? :S

Or will they melt headlight with heat ?

 

[-Leigh-]

Don't think so?

 

[D1CKY]

Anyone ideas what the rating of standard bulbs are ?

Are they 6000k ?

About 4200ºK. The higher ºK, the blueish they get and less Lumens you have.

I'm possitive phillips do a bluevision upgrade in the d2s even more bright light on the road and they are really good, they def do an upgrade from a std d2s's

Anyone have any ideas what temperature rating and lumen rating i could upgrade to ?

 

[D1CKY]

I was thinking of going down the route of upgrading my foglights and main beam.

Heres the thread i kinda hi jacked about it http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?p=2580913&posted=1#post2580913


What do you's guys think is it worthwhile doing it or leaving it ?

Hi,

Lumens is the quantity of actual light the bulbs emite. The higher the lumens, the better you'll see what's in front of you.

Now, Lumens decrease as ºK increase. And the higher the ºK, the "bluer" the light gets.

So I recommend that you don't go above 6000ºK, but IMO, the best choice would be around 4200ºK.

Cheers,
J!

I think so, although I'm not sure

 

[Geddes]

Stick with philips, there uv protected also if you manged to get water in your headlights with std halogen bulbs the bulb will explode if you got a philips bulb in it wont explode the philips bulbs are quartz glass allot of the bulbs on the market are hard glass which are very poor in quality

 

[D1CKY]

The GT150 are suppose to be the brightest road legal bulb you can buy on the market, that's what the rep from philips said a while back like, those 2 are a about equel i'd say, me personaly go for the bluevision i've had customers come back in the shop after they baught them and said thanks for the advice they were really good
