Looks like a standard HID bulb. Doesn't seem to be anything special about it. A bit on the expensive side though.

anything with blue tint can't be good. coz' that's by default faking the color temperature by using color tint, rather than the natural ignition of the sand. with color tint the light output is always considerably less the usual

all philips, ****, osram, etc.. good brand bulbs, even at 6000k, the glass tube is clear

my 2 cents

"It has a distinctive blue-light of HID lamp...". It looks like they're just describing general characteristics of HIDs, including the blue tint. Yeah, they're probably good quality, but they'll probably look stock though. Perhaps a tad brighter since they're a fresh set.

They look bluer when looked at from a distance and whiter/creamer up close. Same as most stock projector based HIDs. The description for the listed HIDs seem to compare them to halogens which would be cream up close and from a distance. The blue tint they refer to could be the bluish glimmer HIDs have from a distance...

im pretty sure your stock bulbs are not totally white. both mine and the bulbs on my girl's 08 450h are yellow, not white. yes, they are extremely white initally but once they are at full power they are ulhy cream yellow-white...which is why we switch them!

my suggestion is go for 6000k and go with Garax. You wont be disappointed. plus they're cheap too.
