My HID's Adjusted
k so i was trying to adjust my hids because they were aiming too high and i was getting the finger from ppl on the highway lol, so i played around with it.
thnx to Pyro for hlping me figuring out how to do it.
in these 2 pics they were aimed wayyy too low... looks kool but way too low.
and in these 2 i put them up a little bit higher
and this one is a rondom shot took downtown hamilton... i put on my front and rear lip today...

a standard halogen bulb produces 800-1700 lumens and in contrast...an HID setup will be around 2400-3200 lu (average range) so upto three times or more. where a 6000K falls in that range will vary from one manufacturer to the other. halongen filaments naturally produce a color of 2300K to 4000K (2300K is yellowish, 4000K is whitish) while HID produces a natural color of 4100K to 6000K (4100K is daylight white, and 6000K is slightly bluish white.
so basically...
Lower the Kelvin = Higher the Lumen = Brighter Light
