changing OEM HID bulbs with AFS
Hi all,
I'm a newbie here. I want to upgrade my OEM HID bulbs (4300K) to 6000K (Philips). However, my car comes with AFS (RX330 2005). So when I upgrade to the 6000K HID bulbs, will that affect the AFS autoleveling ? And I will appreciate it if you can show me the instruction. Thanks a lot.

I believe the projector they use gives the hids the color you see. If you look straight on they will almost always look white, from any othre angle you might expirience a different color (blues, purples) and this is because of the projector they use.
Hid
I see.. That makes alot of sense.. So is it safe to assume that if you are using the refletor type HID housings and you are using a standard 4300k d2r bulb... the color output should always be the same regardless of the brand of bulb or ballast? I thought that maybe Acura or BMW used a diferent color or temperature bulb and that was why they always look bluer and brighter... I don't recall them being projectors either... That's why I was curious.
