Yeah thats 6000k, I had the Garax and I swear those looked a little green to me, honestly this has a hint of blue but on the ground it show up white. I actually must say that I love the color, not to blue but just enough.

Many forum members that want slightly more colour but don't want to compromise too much light output often purchase 5000k D4S Xtreme HID bulbs.

Here are some pics:

I just placed an order from retrofit. Went with 5K though, want to stay away from blue/purple tone. My driver bulb is going out, we'll see how this pair does.

Sorry meant to say it was bluish and the ground looks to blue for what I'm looking for, these bulbs are blue when looking at it but the color i white on the floor and at the top it is a small hint of blue but it looks good I'll try to put up a daytime pic and a video. The main problem I had with the Garax was it was too blue and the visibility was terrible these bulbs are bright, I mean I go down a street at night were there are no street lights and I can see the entire street across, thats not bad in my opinion, especially for the price.

Yah, the garax is fine for me...I dont have any visibility issues and it lights up white in front of me...probably a personal thing. Curious to how the morimoto in 5000k would look. Im gonna stick with the garax b/c from what ive read theyre reliable and the match pretty good with my 5000k LED city lights
