O.K. My question, "Since I already have factory HID, are there HID replacement bulbs (JUST BULBS!) that will give a more super-white-blue beam such as a1exus picture indicates here? Obviously I don't need ballasts or anything else, just the replacement bulbs that will work, right??? If so, what is the style & part # and manufacturer, and where do I get em'?

At least not REAL 8000k bulbs that are suppose to be 8000k in brightness and color. We're not saying that anything not factory is crap, we just don't want you to buy something thinking that it's 8000k bulbs but in real life they don't exist.
From your pics I can see more that they are not 8000k in color compared to the 6000k bulbs I had before. That's why everything is kinda fishy. If Phiilps release some sort of 8000k bulbs in the future, I wouldn't be surprised to see K2 8000k bulbs disappear. I don't think anyone other than Phiips or PIAA can develop 8000k bulbs before them.
Again just watching out for you man. It'll SUCK if you got something that you think is right but is not.

.. but imagine that.. that there is a very tiny possibility that someone else could come up with some ideas other then gigant company.. just very tiny possibily.. i think it's possible to have this possibility.. dont you?
thanks for lookin out for me though, I appreciate it

And as the halide crystals vaporize over time, the color temperature will shift to the warmer end of the spectrum as this is the case with all metal-halide arc lamps.
BTW color is also determined by the type, mixture and quantity of xenon gas (which is used to start the arc hense the initial deep blue) and halide crystals and mercury, the more xenon, the bluer the light will appear.

:eek: Those are really birght :eek: It's blinding when you are head on. They look very blue, even when spread out on the street. Does it look that blue all the time, from the driver's seat? Or are there some color differences with the camera?
