99 Turn lamps & HID's

I was looking at the feed type II replica of the 99 spec front turn lamps, and i like the fact that they are xenon lights, but i don't like the fact that they only come in 4300k.
Does any one else know of a similar light with diffrent temps that I can put in place of my 99 spec lights?

The FEED Ver 2R lights would not have fit in your 99 spec bumper anyways. The whole assembly is bigger and the inlet for the lights is bigger also.

I don't have the 99 spec bumper, I have a Border bumper. But it can house my 99 spec lights right now with some mounting modification.
How much bigger are the actual HID lights on that kit?

Its hard to explain. The lights are attached to a long bracket wich bolt to the inside of the bumper. I dont how to descibe it to you. but i guess anything is possible thee days, i have seen crazyer things done before lol. You would be better off making your own system then buying the FEEDs anyways. they cost me a pretty penny just for the name.....

Why would you want anything brighter than 4300K? Higher Kelvin temps. don't always mean that the light is better.

Someone that knows can correct me if I am wrong but most HID bulbs that have a highter rating, have a tinted cover on them making them less effective.

Is there another alternative other than the feed or 99spec combo lights?

HID bulbs don’t come in tinted bulbs (At least from any company I've seen. They are just clear) it’s the amount of xenon gas within the bulb.
4300k is the brightest bulb
12000K (the highest temp I’ve seen) is the darkest but also the most purple.
8000k is my favorite because it’s a nice deep blue.
It also depends on what company you go with since they do differ in colors between companies with bulbs rated at the same temperature.
And some bulbs even have mercury in them.
When the bulb is on it is pressurized usually only one atmosphere depending upon the gas make-up of the bulb.

And from personal experience my 8000k bulbs are about 2 -3 times brighter than any stock halogen light I've seen.

PM respecttheseven. I think he was going to make some custom projectors inside of the 99spec lights.
