Those RM100-RM200 is not a HID bulb. Is just a normal bulb with different temperature. Hid is those always come together with ballast and above RM450. Just put in mind that, those accessories shop selling those white color bulb or Michiba is not a HID. It just a Different temperature bulb. eg, 4250k ,5000k, or 3500k.

I assumed that you are talking about RM1XX just bulb . If got HID set sell at RM1XX with ballast, i think better don't get it.

Those 4250k 5000k 3500k is the temperature lor. I know the HID also had those temperature, but the bulb will not bright as real HID. Those RM1XX bulb will gave you HID feel and it not bright but those real HID set, it very bright enough.

We had discuss this before at the fast and the furious sub forum before. Try google it and you will understand.

just a note on those 3500K, 5000K stuff, they are not the temperature of the bulb, but the colour temperature i.e. the theoretical colour of a black body object would emit if it were at that temperature.

The lower the number, the more towards red the light will be. and the higher the number, the closer towards blue it will be. at 3500K the light would be yellowish-white (Normal light bulb is abt 3000K), white-white is about 5000K above that you'll have those light with a bluish tint on them.
