Default Factory HID Kelvin?

What is the kevlin that comes stock on the GS430? I replaced my aftermarket bulbs with another pair of bulbs that are suppose to be 4300k, but, but it's missing the little blueish look that I'm use to.

I also believe they are 4300k.

From what I've seen, every pair of bulbs will be slightly different, even if they are from the same company. Bulb brand is another thing to look into.

Your aftermarket bulbs were probably 6000K as 5000K is a pure white.

Brand new HID bulbs will be a little whiter/yellower than bulbs that have been used for a while. There's a "burn in" period, they'll get a little more color after you've got some hours on them.
