So my driver side HID is turning pink, which i think means I need to buy new bulbs. Correct me if I am wrong....

From what I can tell I need to buy a D2R bulb.

What do you guys recomend for the Kelvin Temp Color:

6000k - 8000k - 10000k ect....

Also what brand are you guys buying? I have seen some on ebay really cheap, like $90 for the pair the dealer wants like 150...

Thanks for your help.

 

Oh its a 1999 lexus gs400....

 

in my neighborhood u can get a pair of bulbs for like 40-60 bucks!

 

OEM color is 4300k. If you want to stick to the best output to color ratio, then the 4300k is a good candidate. Over time, it turns more white than yellow. Then again, I might be biased because I never really liked 6000k+ bulbs.

The ones on ebay are legit if you buy from the right person. $90 sounds normal for the D2R bulbs. They use to be cheaper, but I guess the price went up.

 

I wouldn't go any higher than 6000k.

 

I think at www.xenondepot.com they have D2R bulbs on sale for like $65 each, it's a pretty good deal, I'm planning on getting some 6000K (White with slight tint of Blue) before Christmas

 

why? my friends are running 8k in there cars it works fine whats so bad about it? but i got 6k =]

 

Some people don't like the color, and some don't like the lower light output ... Higher temps = Lower Light Output

 

my friend has 6000k on his GTO and is considering going down to 4300k b/c it's so blue. It looks cool, but he said 4300k is better when youre behind the wheel.

 

can someone post there 4300k hid lights? i want to see how diffrent it is before i consider switching over

 

This crappy cell phone pic is all I've got for now, I'll see if I can take a better picture later ...

 

You'll need to see it in person because pictures wont tell anything. The camera's WB, exposure time, aperture, etc will make one color look like another.

 

So anything above 6000K is too blue? I really like the blue but don't want to sacrifice viewing distance.

Does anyone have pictures of 4300k and 6000k.

Thanks

 

OEM Lexus HIDs are 4300k, just walk outside at night

 

I recommend the 6000K due to the clarity. Our standard 4300 bulb is too yellow for my taste. I have customers who ask if it is possible through parts to upgrade the bulbs, but I have to direct them to xenon depot or ebay to get the upgrade.
