5000k HID Kits Explained

There is a lot of information floating around in the industry regarding color temperatures. Mobile HID would like to dispel the myths and educate the community so consumers can make the best informed decisions when choosing their lights. Don't confuse the color temperature with the actual operating temperature. HID bulbs operate at a temperature similar to halogen bulbs (750 degrees Fahrenheit). More information about other color temperatures: 4300k | 5000k | 6000k | 8000k

Purpose: 5000k bulbs are traditionally used in headlight applications but can be used as auxiliary lights in foglight applications. The 5000k color temperature has a very slight tint of blue and produces an LED-like white color and comparatively makes the 4300k color temperature look slightly yellow.

Special note: 5000k bulbs emit roughly the same amount of visible light as the 4300k bulbs. Higher color temperatures emit fewer usable lumens. A 5000k bulb will emit roughly 5% less usable light than a 4300k bulb.
