Question What HID color temp does this look like, to you?

Looking at the picture, what color do you think this left (bluish) bulb is?

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

Dang, I got blue headlights now!

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

Question 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!

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

Any comments?

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

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.

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!
