AAC 6k HID's - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Sorry I don't have pictures but I recently switched my HID's out for aac's 6k color. I've seen people post and say their lights are just as bright if not brighter than their stock lamps. Mine seem to be noticeably darker, they don't light the road up as much and the high beams are not as efficient. Does anyone else see this?
I can't imagine how 8k would look like. I love the new crystal white color my lamps have, but I guess the stock 4300 is just brighter than the 6000?

did you mess with the adjustment screws at all during the install?

I don't think so cause I don't even know where those are. But I can see those affecting the direction they light up but not the brightness?

You already said it. The lower in the kelvin scale the number is the more visible light you can use. So 4300 is brighter than 6000k. and 6000k is brighter than 8000k and so forth.

These are my 8k's from AAC...i love them. They are not "as" bright as factory but they were not that noticable.
