A troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion, often for their own amusement.

Who did that?
The topic on hand is 6k or 8k headlights...
Seems like being upset was manifested by a choice that others didn't agree with not off topic messages...
Btw don't they look so pretty?
Just got put on to the switchback jawns
Def bout to do that next

The problem lies in the facts. 4300K provides the most visible light. That is a fact supported by science. 5000k-6000K is the generally accepted cutoff for more blue tint, but still a reasonable amount of visible light when compared to the 4300K baseline. I know you think your headlights are "brighter", but they are not.

Facts>Opinions: http://headlightretrofits.com/bulbs-...-kelvin-color/

"We often get the question: "Doesn't a higher number mean it's brighter or better ?". The short answer - NO. When talking about an HID bulb Kelvin Color temperature, a 4100-4300K HID bulb is the brightest Kelvin Temperature you can get. This is the OEM coloring specification on most vehicles with factory HID headlights for a reason.

Let's explain...

Light output is measured in luminosity or lumens. A 4300k HID bulb at 35 watts generally produces 3200-3400 lumens of light. As Kelvin Color Temperature starts to go up (5000k, 6000k and above) luminosity decreases.
A 5000k HID bulb at 35 watts generally produces 3000 lumens and a 6000k HID bulb at 35 watts generally produces in the 2800 lumen range. The lumen output above 6000k starts to dramatically decrease, which is why we never recommend anything above 6000k for an HID bulb. Anything above 6000k should be regarded as cosmetic or show only.
"Why do my friend's headlights look brighter than mine and he has xxxx-K temperature bulbs???"- The reason higher Kelvin bulbs may appear brighter is that they are actually glaring more off of the road surface. Glare is NOT how light output is measured. It's annoying, obnoxious and dangerous. Anything above a 6000K color rating is extremely ineffective & can be deemed practically useless. 6000K is generally the highest Kelvin rating you can go without creating too much glare. The higher the Kelvin rating, the lower the lumen output is. (We can't stress this fact enough...so we noted it twice)
When the Kelvin rating is above 6000K, generally the lumen rating is around 2000 or below. This actually puts the HID output level back in the category of Halogen Output."

"8000K This Kelvin color was included for display purposes only. Note the excessive glare & high amount of blue coloring. This bulb (and anything above it) are NOT recommended for any application."

Kenny knows better that's why they're in his trunk.

I know your scientist comment was patronizing, but I'll take it for the compliment it is.
