The 5500k is more of a bright white, but it is a bit too much.

Just invest in a quality HID kit Leo sells. H11 Morimoto Elite HID Kit System With XB55 50W Ballasts and XBK Bulbs Update: I got a second kit for a second car, and I tried the 5500k instead of the 4500k that I got in the first kit. Not only do they look cheap and yellow, but they are unsafe because the blue coating on the bulb to turn it whiter loses you about 30-40% illumination. They’re also the most energy-efficient among the three types and the most durable as well. LED lights fall somewhere in between the two, giving off a brighter light than halogens but less than HIDs. You won't be doing yourself any favours putting them on a car you plan to sell. They’re brighter and more durable than halogen light, but they tend to give off a higher glare compared to the other two. The nearest they come is 4500K, and still have yellow in them. Don't waste your money on halogens that claim 6000K or even 8000K. However, the drawback of halogen lights is high energy usage. And it has a much softer light which is not blinding for drivers. This is because halogen bulbs are more affordable. But for people on a budget, led replacement for halogen might be a better option. What the? Leo's selling HID replacement bulbs (real HID, not white rice halogens), and you're asking him about halogens off eBay? A HID vs Superwhite Halogen comparison can certainly be had in the Cosmestics area.īut seeing that I used to buy dozens of superwhite halogens prior to moving to HID's, I can honestly tell you superwhite halogens are useless rubbish, especially on projector style headlights the Liberty uses. Halogen lights are easily identifiable because of their yellow colour.

At the bottom of the scale is the yellower looking light of your halogen headlight bulbs (3200K) and plain incandescent foglamps (2800K). I know it's past and moot already, but I gotta agree with Trieu. HID lamps, the ones that look bluer, are 4500K.
