8000k vs 6000k

So I got these new cheap 8000K HID d2s bulbs from ebay and pit them against philips ultinon 6000k

the 1st and 2nd pictures show the driver side with 8000k vs 6000k on passenger. as you can see, when you look straight at the source, it isnt quite blue, but the blue really shows on the wall. Im surprised that the output of the 8000k bulb is pretty good. not bad for $50 bulbs.

8K, there is no other way 8)

how come u didnt take any pics of the light output where it matters? on the road

Nice pickup for $50. Even if they only last you a year, you could buy 4 sets of those for what the damn Ultinon bulbs go for :shock:

because i was lazy.

Did you try 4300? I had phillips 4300 in my tsx and I had a nice blue flicker

I read somewhere 6k is best. In rain and regular conditions. I have 6k low and fogs. Plus since its superwhite, it makes it more oem to cops who see it.

I get the purple/blue flicker due to the TSX projectors. I just wanted a whiter with a very slight blue overall output. I dont think there's any loss of output...it actually seems brighter. the color doesn't really scream out "gimme a ticket".
I use genuine philips 4300k on my montero, it looks yellow compared to 8000k. So I think the ultinon/6000k will now go into the monty.

I am pretty happy with the results.
