Which HID color is the brightest: 4,000k 6,000k or 10,000k? Watch and find out! In this video, Chris talks about how an HID bulb gets its color and what changes when you go from a 35w ballast to a 55w ballast.

To test all these colors, we fire up the bulbs in HID projectors and shine them at the wall from 25 feet. We then measure lux using a digital lux meter to measure actual useable brightness inside the beam pattern's maximum hot spot.
3,000k color HID bulb: 350 max lux with 35w ballast.
3,000k color HID bulb: 490 max lux with 55w ballast.
4,300k color HID bulb: 1,070 max lux with 35w ballast.
4,300k color HID bulb: 1,510 max lux with 55w ballast.
5,000k color HID bulb: 1,140 max lux with 35w ballast.
5,000k color HID bulb: 1,430 max lux with 55w ballast.
6,000k color HID bulb: 986 max lux with 35w ballast.
6,000k color HID bulb: 1,350 max lux with 55w ballast.
8,000k color HID bulb: 970 max lux with 35w ballast.
8,000k color HID bulb: 1,340 max lux with 55w ballast.
10,000k color HID bulb: 750 max lux with 35w ballast.
10,000k color HID bulb: 890 max lux with 55w ballast.
12,000k color HID bulb: 420 max lux with 35w ballast.
12,000k color HID bulb: 570 max lux with 55w ballast.

Agreed. I don't even need headlights or drive, but color temperatures are cool. For reference, an incandescent is 2700 K, while daylight is 5000 K. In the future, maybe headlights could use LEDs or HIDs that can change color depending on outdoor conditions, with a computer that can change the wattage on demand.

I think you should've mentioned the usefulness of a 3000k setup during inclement weather and how it cuts through rain and fog unlike the higher kelvin colors. And sure the lux meter said it's the dimmest but the longer wavelengths are easier for the human eye to pick up causing less fatigue and making it look brighter than the other colors in real life driving situations

Higher LUX does not mean better rendering. The reason you want to stick to 4000-5000 K is because that is the collor range your eye is able to resolve the most details. All these dummies with bright blue headlights are doing is dazzeling themselves with a reflected light and actually end up seeinl less!

@@HeadlightRevolution Thanks for the fast reply. I have an older 16 year old vehicle with what Im guessing to be factory d2r HIDS. With that said I guess it wouldn't hurt to replace them and I might get a little bump in brightness out of it as well. Thanks.

I've been wanting to get an 8000k bulb with a 55 watt ballast for the best compromise between looks and brightness but from the research I've done a lot of places will say that the ballast is 55 watt but it's really not and I also worry about too much heat melting my projector housings. Any advice on what I should do?

Hey Colin! The ballasts we carry are truly 55 watt and we have also had no issues with melted projector housings. You just have to make sure everything is installed properly. Our support staff is here if you have any questions along the way.

I'm so helpless when it's comes to technical stuff on mechanics...albeit this is not a complex one...you helped me choose the exact colour I wanted for my lexus. Ended up going for the 6000k with 55w ballasts. However my partner has since written off that car😫😤 so bought a new (2nd hand) one yesterday, and thinking of actually going for the 8000k with 55w ballasts to get that diamond white look of the 6000k 35w, with the added brightness due to the 55w ballasts I'll be using instead. Thank you so much for helping me choose

Very informative and enlightening. I frequently use for my 2 vehicles a 10000k 35w hid bulbs but I all of them have a 55watt ballast for more brightness and the color goes down to 8000k which works for me all the time. A lot of 35 and 55 watt ballast are more often Over Rated, where it doesn't even come close to the stated wattage.
