What HID color temp does this look like, to you?
 
Looking at the picture, what color do you think this left (bluish) bulb is?

yep thats true. every company has a different idea of what color is what.

if i had to guess tho, id say that was 6000k

Either 6K or 8K; leaning towards 6K.

Yeah, I'd have thought the right (white) bulb was 6000K. (That's what I was shooting for, the right bulb's color.) :hyper:

Dang, I got blue headlights now! :confused:

At least they are the SAME color, now that I got a replacement that matches the left one! : )

yea but the thing is, my old HID'S that were kind of an ebay special looked like the one on the left and my eagle hi/lo HID kit that are also 6000k look like the one on the right. so there is really no telling. just stick to the ones that match hahaha;)

A different question about my Bi-Xenon HIDs!
 
I adjusted the lights way low because I don't want to "honk" people off! :)

But, when I use the high beams, they look less bright than the low beams because they aren't aiming properly.

The highs are way off the road, and really don't illuminate it at all. On high, they illuminate ALL the surrounding country side, though! :p

Do ya think the hi/lo wires need reversed? (I don't think so. :D)

Any comments?

(I NEED to go out and take some more pictures, if she'll let me! :hyper::rotfl:)

Dang.

When I received the kit, the two bulbs were as you see in the pic. :(

Then they sent a replacement.

I ordered 6000K, but the replacemant they sent was 8000K. :(

JDM_DOHC_SiR 11-03-2008 07:35 AM

I`d say it`s in the 8K~10K range.. kind of a strong blue...

i'd say that correct, 8000k is too blue imo.

kelsodeez 11-03-2008 06:33 PM

Yeah, but that is what I'm stuck with after they tried to make it right! :(

Instead of a 6000K (white) bulb, they sent a 8000K!

Dang! :mad:

charlie a.k.a. chuck 11-03-2008 06:45 PM

darn, at least they're making every thing straight right?
