Uspmotorsports.com has an hid kit with no errors that will be thrown on your fog lights I think they're $99 but plug and play

Do you think putting in HID kits into lights not designed for them is good? (Heat and beam pattern) My thing is I know when I am heading towards a car that has HID with out the proper light it's almost blinding. To each his own but it's a safety thing. Does anyone feel the same way? I'm not against it I just don't have much experience with them.

In reference to the 7K comment your friend made, research 'color temperature'. 'Xenon' in itself doesn't have any bearing on what the light will actually look like (color). HID bulbs all have a color temperature as well, so that's also misleading.
Your friend was pointing you in a better direction anyone in here has so far.

Not necesarily bad for the car but bad for blinding oncoming traffic. Its actually illeagal in the UK to use HIDs in halogen equipped heads.
It may also be in the US in some states

I did. Xenon lamps produce light using an electric arc instead of filament. This has no bearing upon what color the light output will be, so I don't know what your point is.
You can get a xenon bulb in any color of the light spectrum between 2500K and 12,000K.

my point was i explained that his friend was refering to HID's and he is looking for H7 "xenon" bulbs which is the real misleading labeling
xenon is a nobel gas.. change the amount of current through it and it gives u the range of color temps 4500k 6000k etc.
so what r u talking about?

Where? All bulb light output is measured in degrees Kelvin (K), not just HID's/xenons. Do your research, please.

ive never heard of anyone being ticketed for them but thats just around NYC. If its on the books, im sure some cop has done it.
some shops have detectors that measure the Lux output and beam spread to tell u if it will blind somone.

yah dude, i know.
he doesnt want HID's.... move along if ur not going to help huh?

and in the mod world 99% of the time if some one is refereing to head lamps in kelvin they are refering to HID's
come on now, lets not be silly.
and just to prove ur clueless...bulb output as u stated above is not measured in Kelvin output is measured in Lumens or Lux. Wavelength or color is measued in Kelvin.
I need to do research? Putz...

When did I not? Why are you getting bent, you're actually learning something, apparently.
Carry on, kid.
