Soo..I ordered both an HID Conversion for the fogs and D4S bulbs from cargym.com. They were both supposed to be 6000K Philips Ultinon. Much to my dismay, once installed this is what my end result has been thus far. BTW My truck to the left has 8000k, and is bluish. However these "Ultinons" that CarGym.com has sent me is clearly not 6000k. The LS headlights have noticeably poor lumen output and the color temp resembles that of 10-12000K or so, with its tacky purple color temp. And the Ultinon fogs look more like 4000K-ish. Take a look at the pics and let me know what you think. The two sets of lights on the LS are clearly off of on temperature.
Feel free to chime in.
Let it be known that this was after I ordered them on their website, waited 4 weeks, called them, just to find out that my order was null because they were on back order or out of stock. He was nice enough to refund my shipping charges, however he sent me these off colors. What a waste of time...
Anyone want to chime in?

those are def 6000k in that picture, exactly what mine looked like..but the lumens (light output) is quite a bit less than standard OEM HID bulbs (4100-4300k)..sure they look cool, but I want light on the road. I got rid of my 6000K Ultinons back in the day on my other car because they just werent doin the job on dark roads...but they "looked neato" lol
