just ordered a set of these for the winter months, got me new loom working at last, turned out to be my fault! 

now i dont want to fit them if they will damage my head lights, i have some crystal clear ones fitted! does anyone know if these are ok ( i do know there not legal too! lol  )

Shouldn't do mate.

As far as i can remember Dizzie is running higher wattage bulbs in his car (but dont quote me on that!!!)

[Dizzie]

you'll be fine running those. I'm running a set that look exactly the same. the baddest ones halfords do. they set me back £26 though!
The best headlights around now
the light is very white and awesome down a lane (if I can ever find a lane in cardiff!)

the bulbs work at an unbelievable 7500K degree Kelvin temperature

Fook me that hot...thats 7229 degrees celcius......the bollock scorchingly hot....that cant be right.....

do you ever get any trouble from the law? do people flash you all the time for blinding them? 

[Dizzie]

I flash people that have their fogs on all the time! not flash, more of a hold on for a second. too many wave if I flash them!

no trouble with the law at all.

7500k isn't the temp the bulbs run out. it's something to do with the colour the bulb puts out. 10000k ones are purplely.

[BobbyT]

ah i see! well i will let you know what there like when they come!

ah, just re-read it diz, it says they can run at 7500kelvin, but im guessing that isnt operating temperature :confused.com:

Here comes the science bit!
Kelvin is a measure of the wavelength of the light which represents the coulour 7500 kelvin is almost the same blue as HID lights or Metal Halide type bulbs new Vauxhalls and beemers.

1500 K            Candlelight
2680 K          40 W incandescent lamp
3000 K          200 W incandescent lamp
3200 K          Sunrise/sunset
3400 K          Tungsten lamp
3400 K          1 hour from dusk/dawn
5000-4500 K          Xenon lamp/light arc
5500 K          Sunny daylight around noon
5500-5600 K          Electronic photo flash
6500-7500 K          Overcast sky
9000-12000 K          Blue sky

Low color temperature implies warmer (more yellow/red) light while high color temperature implies a colder (more blue) light. Daylight has a rather low color temperature near dawn, and a higher one during the day. buy 'em and blind the f*ckers that blind u!

thats some deep sh!t! lol
