The brightness should not be that great of a difference. I'm glad yu found out it was the wrong bulb

wait wait..

are you saying that you put the D2R bulbs into the low beam HID??

i am suprised it even lit up and stay on, not supposed to, please clarify.

Yep.. The low beam right now is the "D2C" bulb.. I have actually 2 sets of D2C bulbs. The first set I ordered was 13000k and its hideous. That is why I decided to order the 6000k D2C bulbs. So the experience was with the 13000k bulbs. It's on continuously but at a really low visibility. When the low beam is on, I can only see maybe about 3 feet away from the car. The light itself produces 4 streams in different directions. It's horrible. Are you saying that it's not suppose to turn on? Cause the 6000k set I got turns on for a second and shuts right off. Maybe the bulbs' aren't bad then.

this is a bit weird, because the reason why I said that was because the D4X bulbs run at 36V compared to the 85V needed for the D2X versions.

they aren't interchangeable so you should have all sorts of problems when you put the D2X in your car.

D4C or D2C is just basically the generic universal base that some manufactures like to use.

DxR & DxS are supposed to have different "notches" so you can't lock into the wrong head lights



again, just get D4S bulbs and you'll be fine, yes expect some loss in light output, but not significant enough to be hazardous on the road, not to mention you have HID fogs too.

that's exactly the setup i have now and it's working just fine, 6000k low&fog

Awsome, I will keep that in mind when I put in the D4S's!

Hi,

I recently ordered and installed a set of 6000k D4C bulbs from IJDMTOY and for some reason the brightness of it has significantly decreased compared to my 4300k bulb. Also I can only see about 3-5feet distance and shows 4-6 stream of lights in different direction. Is this suppose to be normal or have I gotten a defective bulbs?

P.S. Is D4C the same as D4S?

Thanks.

very shocked that you didn't study up on the bulbs before you made the purchase, yes it's normal, 6000k is dimmer than the 4300k, the # is a measure of kelvin temperature (color, not brightness)

D4C is a generic base that fits both D4S and D4R housing.

Before the purchase I did read up about the difference between the 2 bulbs. But I didn't expect it to be that much of a difference tho, it feels as if I no longer have HID with these D4C bulbs in place and to make it worst I have 4-6streams of lights. Maybe I need to adjust my headlights or something to fix that problem cuz before with my 4300k, I didn't have many streams of light like this.

I'll post up tmr when I try to adjust my headlight, maybe that may help???

IS08, post some pics so we know what you are talking about. How much did you paid for the bulbs, sounds like the beam is not aligned right from teh factory.

IS08_Stick

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I figured out what was the problem...apparantly the bulbs were not aligned properly. Once aligned in the properly place, everything turned out perfect.

wow.. this is great so we can change the light bulb to 6000k in our car with out changing the hid ballast?
