I still have my Mars Performance Yellow pack 16,000K deep blue, lows & fogs and have never had a problem since I installed them in 2007. Although this kelvin does not have the lumen's of 4300K 0r 5000K, I love the color reflecting off other cars, signs etc. at night. I use Sylvania Silverstar halogens for the high beams.

I'll repeat yet again that my personal recommendation is to only go with Philips 4300K HID bulbs.
There are ton of $ poured into research as to why these companies selected 4300K as the ideal color temperature. You guys do realize that all that blue, yellow, purple, pink, magenta funkiness will tire out your eyes? As human beings, we respond best to natural sunlight and the 4300K Philips bulbs replicate this the best in the HID world.
Everything else is pure vanity, and in my humble opinion, makes the owner look a bit... clueless.
I recommend buying from Steve @ XenonDepot as an all around good vendor and CL supporter.

absolute garbage... the only eyes it will hurt are the eyes looking directly into the beam... for the owner/driver of the high voltage hid, it's a nice added vision aid

ROK is right on it being a strain on the eyes - its a pretty well known thing, actually. 4300k is the easiest temp/color on the drivers eyes.
Let's quit with the hating and act like adults. We can all disagree without being like a bunch of teenage girls.

brightness is very subjective: some people will adjust their laptop or ipad to full blast and say it's fine, where as some people will set theirs at half point and say it's fine - who's right? who's wrong? when u can answer that then you let me know and i will tell you whether i am right or wrong... anyway as you go up higher in K's the bluer it gets but 6K is still pretty white and ok... when you go 10K that's when people in oncoming traffic will be pissed and flash at you... 6K is so common it's good for those dark allies or highways with lots of bends... that being said, don't make me come over to your house man...

chrisvr6 It is most likely a loose connection on the drivers side. Switch the bulbs furst. Then you will know if it is the bulb. If it still acts the same with the light bulbs switched, it is loose wiring/ connection, or one of the drivers side components.
Both lights should fire at the same time, auto or manual.

Haha. Sorry club.
It's not the brightness of the light that strains the eyes, but rather the color of the light. Computers, iPhones, etc all produce a bluish light, and the strain you experience after prolonged exposure to those devices is similar to a long road trip with the bluer headlights. Facts is facts, amigo.
If your iPhone is jailbroken, you can download an app called f.lux that will change the blue to a warmer color (not the same as brightness).

no issue man, just 6k hid will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, some with more blue than others and some it's blue only on start up but completely white a later... but in bad weather you will be glad you have 6k hid vs 4.3k because your sight of vision is greatly improved more brightness... but anyway i don't see too many people complaining 6k is too bright... do 5k is ok too and that's what i use most of the time
Toyota, BMW, Audi, Hyundai, Honda source their HID bulbs from all but a handful of vendors. This includes Philips which is resold by a CL vendor as a plug-and-play kit. Manufacturer to manufacturer? I challenge you to do something actually substantive. List out these manufacturers that you reference.
