    Lots of info here, car lights aren't a good choice. Read some light threads, is a good place to start.

    Those car lights are high intensity discharge (HID) lighting

    I'm not too familiar with their power wattages (think around 70 or 90w??) but you may aswell go for a proper grow MH/HPS

    Anyhow those 7-10000K numbers might be ok for vegging but for flower you would need to swap for 2100-3000k.

    3500K can do veg and flower
