You cant put 6000k/8000k side by side in the same car, the lite overlaps, you need 2 cars side by side of the same make with the same make bulbs to see a difference.
Thank you!!........

No need to get all bent out of shape....

Anyways, people should start posting what brand they are talking about. We all know the difference between 6000k and 8000k, but in my exp. I have noticed different brands put out different colors.

For ex. Phillips 6000k are alittle bit more blue then the Xenon Depot 6000k.

IMO.... I like the 8000k. Its all in the eye of the beholder.

If you're interested in 6000K and 8000K bulbs, I believe jinetix has a couple sets. Give him a PM or check out his classified in the IS250/IS350 Classifieds section.

I hear people say that the output loss from 6000 to 8000 isn't that drastic. Is this true?


Quick Reply: 6000k or 8000k
