^ "4300k volt" LOL imagine your car can produce that high voltage and still require a 12volt battery. LOL

From what I heard the small slim design isn't as reliable as the old bigger design. I think Steven can tell you which is better to get.

As for the color, it changes as it get 'use'.

Actually... we haven't carried a thick ballast in years =) Our newer slim ballasts have higher efficiency ratings than our older thicker ballasts.

The current slim Xtreme HID ballast is literally the best ballast we have ever sold (and we used to use Philips ballasts).

i disagree about the color change.

I have never had a set of xenon depot or kbcarstuff change color on me.

I ordered the 5000K D4S from XenonDepot last month. I love it

I did not like the 6000K it looks purplish and I can't see the road as good as OEM. But the 5000K, boy, pure white (beautiful) and illuminate as good as OEM at night.

Sweet! If you take any pictures please do post them up =) 5000k D4S bulbs have been a good seller but it seems as if many forum members are still concerned about what the color will look like and often go for 6000k instead.
