i was trying to find other headlight housing, I swear in the rain, the lights might not as well be on. i was trying to find either HID to projector headlights. Anyone have any info on aftermarket ligthing for the car? What's bright and what works?

They have a Phillips Xentron HID 4500 Kelvin conversion including the new housings, ballasts, and bulbs for $450.00. That is the best price I have found and Phillips is a respectable brand.

 

Where? I looked on their site and didn't see anything on LS1 body style Headlight housings.

 

lol their chart is so off, day light (ie: the sky) is 10-50 Thousand degrees calvin. so i think where they put it is a very big misrepresentation. there is no light in the world that can give the same light as the sun. the closest thing to the sun is a good ole incandesant light bulb. color rendering wise. but thats different.

but from the rest of what i read there it seems acurate.

 

There's a link under sealed beam conversion kits. Then follow the link for vehicle lookup. You could always e-mail them.

 

There aren't any complete assemblies, just the 9005/9006 bulb replacements to fit in the standard housings. This is probably the best option available, I can't find any projector style conversions.

Sunlight is generally taken as 5500 to 5600K , but can range up to 6600K on some days, but even this is an approximation. Color temperature refers to the temperature of a black body radiator, which produces a spectrum of the same perceived color. The black body spectrum comes from Planck's Law http://.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck's_Law_of_Radiation , and the peak wavelength is from Wien's law http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien's_law but there are few earthly sources that generate such a spectrum. Daylight, apart from direct sunlight, as you mention is 10-30000K because the atmosphere filters out a lot of the red end of the spectrum (link ). This is what the blue filters on the fake HID bulbs do - although the light looks brighter because it is bluer, there's actually less light energy leaving the bulb. The human eye is more sensitive at the bluer end of the spectrum link
In any case the spectrum of incandescent bulbs is not the same shape as sunlight or skylight, but the output from HID's doesn't look anything like a smooth spectrum, with big spikes (link) but the eye doesn't perceive these. Color temperature doesn't accurately describe these sources.
Finally, tungsten has a melting point of around 3700K, commercial bulbs don't run much above 3000K (or else the filament rapidly starts to evaporate and either darken the envelope or recrystallise on the cooler parts of the filament and cause it to burn out (links )), so any claims of color temperatures above 3000K for these bulbs is definitely the result of filtering the light output
