If lexus bulbs are 4300K, and that is the only legal hid...what are the audi's that are much bluer...almost purplish (or was it infinity/nissan)...Anyways...All I have to do to get bluer HIDs is to replace the bulb for a 6000K? will it be noticibly bluer? thanks!

The bulbs are exactly the same across the board. Its a matter of optics that makes them appear different. And that my friend comes from HID projectors. Look up the HID bulb bananza sticky for more info

Total PITA when you have no idea what you're doing...even with pics. But at least the broken bulb has been replaced and all is well....for now.

I think I fixed it.. I took out ECU-B fuse for 25min, then having the lights switch on auto, turned the engine on and saw the lights auto-level, first down, then up..

grrreat suksess!! like Borat would say..

I just noticed that my driver's side headlight is lit higher and when I looked from the top down onto the headlamp the bulb shinny housing inside the headlight has a much bigger gap then the passanger, I must have moved it or something when I installed it.. I will try to redo it tomorrow and maybe try to move it back into place.. I hate when something does not go right after I do something to the car..

Default HID leveling problem

Ok here is my problem.. Can anyone look at your headlights and compare them to my pics that I included on the bottom of this post.. one of my headlights is not alligned correctly.. after putting the car on straight road, I started the car and saw the lights auto level and these are the pics of the way my lights are leveled, there is a problem and I must re-adjust them, but do not know how!

Driver's side:



Passanger's side:
