#6
yea...my 6000k hid kit in my sc300 is white on the floor but from far away it has a slight bluish tint to it. I believe all lexus hid were 4300k but BMW hids are usually around 6000k - 8000k.

Thanks. If I get one from the 9000-12000K range, will I get the purple light on my IS350?
Will the high kelvin burn the interior wirings? I was searching the 6000k bulbs on ebay, and why they posted a picture of 6000k with purple?
2nd option - what K is yellow?

yellow is normally around 3000-3500k.
is there a specific reason you want an EXTREME purple/green output (thats what 9-12000k is) on your dd? not only is it blatantly illegal its dangerous to other drivers becuase of the massive amounts of glare it produces and on long trips that high a color temp WILL fatigue your eyes.

My 10000k just came in yesterday and had it installed. Damn, I wish I had a 6000k. It is true about the fatigue thing. The color looks more ''cool'' so your eyes seem to draw themselves to sleep. But overall, it is better than stock I should say.

i think sometimes it depends on what kind of HID kit it is.. I tend to notice that different brands with different temp comes out different colors.. some kits have 6000k as white/purple while others are white/blue
