Running 6000k--had to raise the lights about 2" (sitting 10 ft from wall) to get similar coverage as the old 4300K. Overall light output is of course decreased, but not too badly.

That has nothing to do with your 20k's being super brighter. The only reason why you "think" your highs go farther is because they are projecting at a higher angle throwing light further. But it's not useful light....
If you put your 20k bulbs into your low beams i'd be suprised ift hey projected 10 feet in front of you.

Congratulations. You are the newest member of the "my bulbs' Kelvin rating is damn high so it must be waaaaay brighter" club. It is exclusive.

ok you are a retard... the reason i noted to the shades is BECAUSE having the 20k's in the high beam is sending the lights directly into the rear view of those in front of me you fuxing tard hahahaha... dude please think before you type idiot
i guess i will take a sec to elaborate
having a HID completely exposed without a lens or filter to cut the brightness of the light IN a high beam position is going to lift the light higher then your normal driving lights essentially lifting the beam higher off the road that is directly in front of you and further down into the distance BECAUSE of how the projected angle of the lower reflectors are positioned.
i know the difference in K and how it all works. i have 3 salt water aquariums. 2 of the tanks have 20k (MH) metal highlights in them and the 3rd tank has 10k MH in it... the 10 k is WAY brighter then the 20k. BUT the 20k project deeper through the water giving the tanks a deep blue ocean look

Says the guy who used "its" where "it's" is the correct grammar...Which brings us back to the $million question: Who is the only idiot in this thread?
