Could be the pic but it is a little too far to the blue end to me; I like whites better for HID.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the new setup creating LESS visible light to actually use for driving at night?

Why would you replace great HIDs with lesser HIDs just to have them look blue? Function follows form, I suppose...

Bluer=Better. Who cares about function? HID's create better visibility than regular old Halogens.

Are you the guy that chooses tires based on how cool the tread looks?

The higher the K,the more color(blue-purple) of the bulb and less light output on the road.
Stock HID are 4300K.
