taking pictures of your car with hid's? could not get a very clear picture of them me and my buddy installed late last night and during the process it' started sleeting.

Better??

THE camera is a sanyo vpc-t700

STILL have to angle them better. the left headlight casing broke and i have to fix it before it can adjust.

I hate when people install those blue fucking headlights. They are so ghey. Not only are you screaming "look at me" but they also have less visible output than white headlights. Anything over 6000K is a waste IMHO.

those chart's don't mean shit. each company's is different.

i also did not ask what you liked i asked about camera settings.

what else do you put in hid's for besides visibility?

Dude, the higher in the scale, the less light you get. So the more blue the light, the less visibility you get. That is exactly my point. If you are going to spend $$$ on an HID kit, why get the one with less visibility?

because 8k and 6k is not the big of a difference dude. really.

I would use the same setting I always use... Aperature priority setting, and in this case, I would use a tripod.

Screw a point and shoot, you wont get a good pic.

aim them correctly pronto... the one pic from inside your house is a giant, sceraming out loud, red flag that they are not aimed at all and you are going to be an assole ricer blinding people as you drive down the road...

although, looking at the way they are shining on your house, id say you have other, more directional problems with them... one of the best attributes of HID's is the way they spread their light, and how you can get such a wide spread without any hot spots and keeping the beam below a point where it should not be...
