I would prefer 8000k rather than 6000k.
I received 6000k and it seemed a bit yellowish to me and I didn't like it. I would rather have slightly bluish.

Personal Preference though. =P

8000k is far from slight bluish. Are you certain what you received is 6k?

CL sure has changed ... Before one could post up a question and it would get answered without any of this crap... Guess not anymore. We were all new and asking questions at some point... I know I was.
Thank you Raj.

I've had issues with my Volt HID bulbs from Xenon Depot in the past. Ordered 3k when i had stock fogs, got mis-matched colors. They sent me new bulbs for free, which also didn't match, but with now 4 bulbs, i was able to make a pair that matched... Not sure why i went back to them, but i got 3k fogs again for my ISF fogs, and they're also mis-matched. Just my experience, they would probably replace them as well, but i don't really care to e-mail photos, explain myself, etc and i live with it. Just an honest opinion/experience with them, FWIW.

and this is exactly why i agreed with bob despite me actually answering the OP question. im sure its 3x faster to just google a generic question and get brought back here anyway vs not trying and just making a thread thats 1 of 546 and waiting for an answer. but thats just me though....

If it's yellowish then your h11 or if it's white/yellow your bulb is d4s.

For real? I didn't even notice.

Let me go to the Prius forums and ask them about the gforce performance chip!

Guys, take a read at this sticky as well.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-is-forum.html

Please don't post telling someone to search if you aren't going to show him how to search, what the keywords to look for are and a couple of links they could have found on their own. Just saying 'search' is an utterly useless reply that does nothing but waste all the other members time when they look at a thread with new content.

EVERY forum and vehicle as it matures has more repeated questions from new owners. It's normal and it never stops, no matter how much we add to the FAQ or ask people to search first. I've been answering the same damn 2GS questions since 1999... we just ask you welcome new members and 'teach them to fish' instead of giving them a rough time please.
