color difference between 4300k and 6000k
i didn't notice until i saw the pics on my computer. anyway, here are some pics that i took of my cars. my is3 (reflective) and sc430 (projective) both have the stock 4300k hid. on my gs4 (reflective) i have the 6000k philips hid. some pics to show the difference.
this one is with normal exposure:

this one is with 2 seconds exposure:

funny to note that from the pics it seem like the 6000k is a bit more purple, though in real life i don't think that's the case, it's more white and a bit blue
oh and all 3 cars have clear bra protection on the headlights too

Henry..first pic looks accurate...
real Phillips Ultinon D2R/D2S bulbs ARE in fact purple....I had this argument with Neo some time back...
It seems their conversion kits turn up more blue....
Mine are very purple-white and I have the genuine D2S bulbs modified to fit in our D2R housing

the pics turn out that way i can't argue, but somehow in person it still looks differenti tried to adjust the color in the pics and see if i can get it to show the color difference i see in person, but of course, failed

Hey Henry!! Three Nice Rides!!
Since when did you get the SC? Envy, Envy!!
The IS and the SC are so much brighter than the GS! Is it the just position?
I also notice that in day time when I turn on my 6k, it just look purple. Night - totally White!!

i didn't post it much otherwise thoughit's the angle problem. actually i have another pic (just like the second one) and from a slightly different angle, and the sc430 becomes very dim looking.

just keep in mind, pics are sometimes a bit off. in real light they match up with 6000k very well, but still a bit on the blue side i think. but in general i think it's awesome, much better than m6 imho
