Looking at gettin a new set of bulbs for my liner....the older ones are starting to become less efficient!

What rating HID should i look at? (1000k, 2000k, 3000k, etc, etc) and is there a legal limit to how bright and whatever you can go?

also there are slight coloured ones? are there any colours that they sell that are illegal.....lookin at possibly an arctic white or ice blue or something like that.....

anyway..can u plz give me some guidance and experiences...

Cheers

Matt

is it 1000 is the brightest or 10000 is the brightest?

i am lookin at a 4000k set at the moment....

The brightest would be 4300k which is the same colour as sunlight. As you go lower than that, the colour goes yellow, up and it goes blue then eventually ultraviolet.

so closer to 10000 is the blue-ish look?

10,000k would be already purple as far as I know. I've got 6000k globes and they're a touch too blue for me already. In my opinion, don't go over 6000k at all. 4300k would be the best globe to get, but if you want a little blue to it, get 6000k. Anymore and you're getting shittier light output and having colour instead.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
