Well, if you were to compare them to a color they'd have a more purplish tint that blue... But they're WHITE and BRIGHT!!!! And yes those are 6000K..

Now you got me confused.... What do you mean when you say OEM????? Are you talking about Halogen bulbs??? Because when you say OEM it could be either Halogen bulbs or 4100K HID'S.....

OEM HIDs are around 4150k. I'm not even sure what OEM Halogens are?

Go with the 6000K kit. Im sure there must be a mod shop around your area that can professionally install (neat and clean mounting) it for you for a few bucks.

Did you check out the DIY section? Here's the link.

Default Re: Comparison

that's CRAZY!!!! the stock S4 HIDs have a huge tinge of purple in my opinion. Compared to the 6000K philips kits, the S4 HID looks yellowish white. Just how purple is this 6000K kit?
