Predator Chromium Angel Eye Color Question

chrisat · Mon, Aug-06-2007, 09:28:49 PM

I ordered the non-standard 4500K color temperature, but neither the box nor the parts are labeled as such. There is actually no label indicating color temperature. How can I tell if these are in fact 4500K without hooking them up and not the standard 6000K?

you cant without hooking them up, and its doubtful they sent you the wrong ones, mine didnt say anything on them either.

That's what I want to hear. I'll hook them up and see.

I hooked them up for a test and not only do they match the 6000K ones on the Umnitza site, but one of them is bad (way dimmer then the rest). Very frustrating, hopefully this will be ironed out soon. The 6000K is cool, but I prefer something that looks a bit more stock.

Dimmer means poor connection usually, they either work or they do not.

Here is a pic of the 4500k angel eyes and 4300k hid bulbs

Thanks for the pictures. The ones I have are much whiter that an 4500K pics I have seen including yours. The 6000K ones look good, but I really want more of a stock appearance without going too yellow, besides I paid the extra $$ for the "non-standard" color.

Below is a picture, the difference in brightness is more extreme in person. They're most likely 6000K, right?

i think the 4500k have black wires, and the 6000k white wires

if you running oem 4300k xenons, stick with the 4500k eyes, otherwise 6000k makes the headlights look yellow

this is mine with 4500k eyes and philips blue vision fogs. imo they are exact same color as oem xenons. However when u turn the headlight on, they do gain a more yellow appearance very similar to oem

Wire color is no longer an issue, if it's labeled 4500K on the box label, it's 4500K, however, in your case, it's clear you received 6000K.

If you ordered from us, email us right away, we'll send you a return label for the rings and swap them out with 4500K rings - in stock - today.

If we are not your retailer, contact them so we can process this as well with them.
