Patrick, how long are you going to run this special?
What bulb temp is everyone getting?
What bulb temp is everyone getting?
True. But as a novice in HID lighting I would like to be enlightened on why so many bulb temps. What does a higher temp signify? Brightness? Will the higher temps draw LEOs? I'm interested in improving the lighting but I don't want to melt anything in the bike to get it.
In looking at your website, I don't want anything looking blue so I think the 4300k would work for me. It has the most lumens as well. Is bulb life related to color or lumens?
To build on your query...
Question for those smarter than I... How much brighter is the 4300k(3100 lumen) compared to the 6000k(2900 lumen)? I assume that the cutoffs would be similar... but I'm just trying to gauge the brightness, as I HATE lights that appear to be blinding to oncoming drivers/riders.

So sorry it took me so long to respond, I wish the forum sent me an email letting me know you guys were replying.

You can set it up to email you in your settings Patrick.
Just don't let Jim tell you to change your email address...
Even more questions: Is the color temp based on the ballast, the bulb, or the combo?
What's involved to change from 4300k to 6000k and/or reverse?
The bulbs decide the temp (color). They can be swapped very easily since everything in the A&R kit comes with weatherproof connections.
