Default Installed Garax 6000k HID bulbs - PICS

Appearance from the outside of the car: Looks amazing. Color is perfect. During the day it looks pure white. At night it's white with a slight tinge of blue. The headlights closely match the color of my LED parking lights now (from a distance, close up the LEDS are slightly more blue).


Visibility:
At night the visibility is slightly less when compared to 4300k, but not significantly. The road looks slightly blue when inside the car. I thought visibility significantly dropped when I first installed them, but after adjusting my headlight aim, it looked much brighter.

Have you guys noticed this too after adjusting the headlight aim? It lit up the road so much more.

that doesn't look so blue. Maybe the camera adjusted the color?

Wish I can see it with the 4300. to compare.

Those look great, what bulbs are you running in your DRL's to make them match. I have done the V-LED mod to my DRL's but i lost my high beams. My DRL's don't look like that when my headlights are on but when my headlights are off my drl's look like that. What gives?

You're confusing the high-beam bulb (run at half-power for DRL) and the parking light bulb (on only when the low beams are on). If you want to match your low beams, you will have to replace the parking light.
