hey guys, what's the current temp on our bulbs?
is it 4300K?
i'm reading that 6000K was noticably dimmer....
is 5000K any better in terms of a bit more whiter/bluish but good light output?

yes that's correct, ALL hid on ANY cars from factory with hid are 4100-4300k, no exceptions.

i have 6000k on my gs400, it's a bit dimmer but i can still see the road very well. anything higher is bad. if i do it again for my sc430 i will get 6000k again no brainer

 

how about the 5K temp bulbs?

is the 6000K bluer?

philips or some of the other brands from xenondepot etc.?

yes the 6000k is a bit "bluer" and "whiter" than the 5000k, but i don't think the difference is that noticeable

i would get philips for sure

 

Aren't some 6000K outputting pinkish/purplish-white light on the ground?

 

yup. but it's all about comparison. basically if we put everything together, i say

4300 - yellow
5000 - yellowish white
6000 - puplish white
7000 - green
8000+ - darker blue and purple
