What K to get???
What K to get???
So, I'm looking to replace my D2R bulbs...what K should I get? Don't want purple lights, so 8000K+ is out. Been hearing 6000-6500K is the best route to go. I just want my lights a little brighter than what they are now. Waddya think? I have a '98 GS400, that's OEM 4300K, right? 
Also, where can I find the best place/price for Philips D2R bulbs???...Thanks guys, opinions/advice is much appreciated!

Stock temperature would be the brightest actually, any higher would just be more white/blue/violet with a bit less light output.
But you might want to consider getting 6000Ks, I have OEM HIDs as well on my RX and am considering to switch out for Philips replacement 6000K bulbs.

or if ya don't want to lose too much output from 6000k, can always try the philips color match 5k. when my 6k goes out, i'm planning on either going to stock 4.3k or 5k. as is now, with my retrofit, the 6k seems more purple from angles instead of blue... can be remedied with either 4.3k or 5k.
Thanks guys. Does anyone have clear night pics of the philips 6000k bulbs installed? PICS PLEASE!!!...My bro. has, i think, 9000k and it looks purely Purple! No good. I'm looking for a slightly bluer/whiter hue to the color over OEM. Also, how much light output does the 6000k actually lose compared to the 4300k? I hear it's not much, not even that noticable from what I've read. Oh, and I found these on Ebay...check it out...

i don't have pics anymore, coz' it doesn't eally do much justice. you almost can't get good color from pictures. just look at stock hid and imagine a bit whiter/bluer for 6000k
ok...like a lot whiter/bluer? or just a little?...did anyone get a chance to check out that link?...waddya think? authentic or not??? i'm a skeptic...any opinions/advice please! Thanks!

Philips Ultinon on the right. I've seen them in person, and they look very white, with just a hint of blue/purple.

Make sure to purchase from a reputable place, as there are plenty of fakes. Based on the feedback for the seller in your link, it looks to be the real deal (but of course I don't know the seller and cannot verify).

i opened the link...but didn't see anything related to lights??? anyways, i'm not sure if the 6000k bulbs are worth the loot? $150 ain't much, but it ain't cheap either... i guess i'm
on whether i should buy 'em or not? is their anyway to get the yellow fog lights even "yellower"? (if that's a word?)???
have you lost your damn mind!!
no he hasn't lost his mind... i have a friend who has 30,000k... and no this is not a typo. he had 15,000k before. i never heard of 30,000k or knew that there was one but then again he said that it just came out... not sure on the brand though. but right now i haven't seen them in person. but my other friend said that it made his stock hid's look like garbage... by the way they both have gs's. to me i would prefer anything from 6000k - 10000k.
