when you look at the light it's white with a bit blue hue in it, just like those bimmer, etc... on the ground it's pure white

Default Not blue at all

There is no blue whatsoever coming out of a 6000K bulb (at least if it's a philips). It is purple. It looks whitish purple coming out of the projector, and is whitish purple on the ground. When next to other cars with stock HID, their light output on the ground looks yellow compared to mine, no matter what car it is. Look at my website for pictures.

Installing should be a breeze now since we got soooooo many pics, vids, and solutions posted.

To answer the original question on this thread....the 6000K is somewhat bluish/purple....kinda right in between there....but that's when you looking down at the light housing. When looking at the light as oncoming drivers would see....its just bright white with a hint of blue on the outskirts.

6000K all the way!!

Pete

i hooked up my kit yesterday .... its a big improvement from halogen bulbs...my M6's look like its shimmering black now CRAZINESS !!! shows you how blue/white the 6000k is ... i dont know how low to adjust the headlamps i adjusted them but they still look bright as hell...the bubble balance thing has always been off and i dont think my driveway is at a slant should i try to make the bulb center .. i think it might be angled to low if then b/c i turned the adjusting bolt a lot and it doesn't seem like the bubble is moving but i can tell the light pattern has dropped significantly..does anyone have this prob ?

Joshoowa:

Yah...its all trial and error. I think I've adjusted that vertical bolt at least half a dozen times now.....and yes....seems as though if you attempt to level the bubble on both sides....its still ever slightly off. Just be patient.....make sure its NOT high to the point where its hitting the other drivers face. My rule of thumb is to keep the beam from hitting ppl in the side mirror from at least 3 car lengths away.
