Default 8000k HID bulb (garax)

hi guys,

what do you think of the 8000k hid bulb from garax? does it seem like the color output is too blue - im talking cheap blue color, like a ricer color...i want some OEM HID replacement and im looking for a nice pair.

yeah I was thinking that too. its just the ones i had before was 8000k and gave off a nice blue color, not cheap like garax and it was 8000k but i might make the switch to 6000k...here sre some pics -mine is the black shiny black one next to the white (white GS is my gf's).
