Good job on the copy and paste..

Contribute something good to this thread or GTFO..

Oh, P.S,, I will have the pictures of the RIGG bulbs up later this evening.... I have them on my camera but forgot the proprietary Sony cable at home..
I think I contributed some sort of knowledge to this thread. I happen to read up on and do quite a bit of work with HID lights. Retrofitted TSX projectors/lenses into my WRX before I got my Z and did quite a bit of research on the HID subject and decided to pass along some knowledge about light output. Not everyone knows this, so what's the harm in saying something about it?

Just because it was copy and pasted doesn't mean it isn't factual...

You know, I must say this whole thread in general is funny. Everyone jumps on people who want to tint their headlights saying how it will decrease his light output and isn't safe. Yet, when someone wants to put light bulbs in their car to get a certain color that decreases the light output no one seems to care.

I dont think you get the point about overgeneralizing. Your use of the term "everybody" and "no one". I challenge you to find a post by any of the people in this thread where they are calling someone out for tinting their headlights.

not to mention i think 6000k bulbs still produce more lumens than 90% of the oem halogen bulbs on the road

And i have no problem with you posting an informative link. It is the condescending tone of your post that gets on peoples nerves.

Here are the pics of the RIGG bulbs that I got from theretrofitsource.com..

They match my led parking lights almost perfectly. They are crystal white with
a hint of blue. They work perfectly, just like factory and the beam pattern and
horizon line is really nice.






Here's a shot with just the parking lights on.



This is what the iJDMtoy bulbs in 6000K looked like.

Well using anything other than an OEM-type capsule (Philips, Denso, etc) is just asking for problems. I've always been a big proponent of the idea that if you can't afford to do it with the right parts, save up some money until you can.
