Oem Hid???
I have a OEM HID 4300 on my IS, and i would like to have the 8000k HID
Do i need to buy a whole 8000 HID kit or just change the bulb and get a 8000k bulb without changing the OEM HID kit??
Thanks

Hehe, ok...at least you're honest. I think you don't want to go too cheap on HIDs....as you say, one brand's 8000k can be different from another's, and you don't want to have to buy new ones every 4 months when yours blow out.
Have you tried a search? I know there are a ton of lighting threads, but I haven't honestly spent any time looking at them for your specific questions.

Dont get it from ebay....they are not accurate...(Color temperature wise) I can tell you that the ones I bought from mobilehid.com is also not as accurate. Haven't tried xenondepot.com, they don't ship to PO Box and their picture looks like its similar to mobilehid.com. I think its alot safer to get it from xenonvalot.com.

Do you also think i could possibly find an exact compration between a 8000k and 6000k of the same car from the same area, cuz all the pics that i have found so far are either compration of totally diffrent cars and different kit,or same IS but the shots have been taking form diffrent position which make it almost impossble to judge

If I were to get another pair, first I would ask the seller where the bulbs are made from.....think its safe if it were from japan/europe.....don't get those cheap made in china ones....my headlights are 8000k and my fogs are 6000k
you can tell the difference with the headlights, not as blue, its more of a purplish color.....let me know if you want to see more pictures...
