yes it is. this H4 HID hi/lo has a function whereby when u hi beam, the HID(which is the low bam) will auto off and halogen(which is the hi beam) will auto on.

 

perfect for rd blocks

Just to share some info on HIDs..

 

emissive oxides are blasted from the cold cathode surfaces each time the HID is started.

 

time is needed to let the HID bulb cool down for a while (a mere 3- 5 secs) b4 starting it again. else, might have problem igniting it

[paiseh]

HID lamps produce light by striking an electrical arc across tungsten electrodes housed inside a specially designed inner fused quartz or fused alumina tube.

 

This tube is filled with both gas and metals. The gas aids in the starting of the lamps. Then, the metals produce the light once they are heated to a point of evaporation, forming a plasma.

hi limbat, do u have H4 or H7 3000k colour HIDs bulb at the moment

[paiseh]

got 4300K which is already yellow.

 

"This tube is filled with both gas and metals. The gas aids in the starting of the lamps. Then, the metals produce the light once they are heated to a point of evaporation, forming a plasma."

 

hence too low temperature, HID not stable. 3000K market got sell but seldom

thank u very much paiseh, i am currently looking for a H4 3000K bulb for my bikey, i came to realise tat those colour tat resembles halogen colour are still the best, cos it cuts through the rain & fog during nite riding.

 

Where else my current 5000k & above lights are kinda more like for comestic then practical use My white lights are practically useless, they bounce back in the rain & fog on the NSHW. Tat y i have to ride very slowly i need to find a pair of 3000k soon

[paiseh]

how u know 3000K HID bulb produces the best color similar to halogen?

 

 

u got see b4 3000K HID bulb b4 ah?

I am not sure if U can find HIDs bulbs at 3000 kelvin color. Most manufacturers spec their color at the 4000-4500 range for yellow ..................

[mini-dero]

anybody here installed a HID kit into a S4 before? care to share some photos on how it shines? especially spec1/2. Thx. Just wondering.
