Default Comparison - 4100k (OEM) vs. 5000k vs. 6000k

These pictures were taken by gavron1 at the local South Eastern meet in Atlanta. You can find more pics on the South Eastern Lexus Owners Club website (www.seloc.net). The first car on the left is Jazziz (OEM), middle car is 1SICKLEX (5000k), and the car on the right is me with 6000k's.




-- Also, the pics below were taken by 1SICKLEX

Enjoy!

Default Stock (4100k)HID vs 5000k vs 5000k projector vs 6000k pics (GS side by side)!!

At our SELOC meet today, we took pics of our cars side by side so members here can really see the difference. Cars
1st GS is Jazziz, stock 4100k
2nd white one is 1SICKLEX, Mcullouh 500k HID
3rd is Brendanlim, Phillips 6000k HID
Last is Skulinex with 5000k in his SC projector (not sure of the brand)

Also, while Jazziz has the factory yellow fogs, mine are clear and I added a yellow bulb. Looks pretty close.

Though it is daytime, you can clearly tell the difference.

Okay my sideview

First is Brendanlim's 6000k
then you see Bitkahuna's stock 4100k
then u see in the SC 400 Skulinex 5000k (same as mine but looks much more blue because of the way the light diffuses from the projector bulbs)
then Gavron's stock HID IS 300 light
then Jazziz stock HID GS 400 light

It's the daytime and you can easily tell the difference. Stock looks almost yellow compated to the 6000ks. Brendanlim's 6000ks start off purple then blue then light blue. Mine starts off blue than white. Stock starts off white and stays white.

My 5000ks vs Brendanlims 6000ks. I also have M4s in the parking lights front and side. Brendan, what are you running????

Nice pic! That's when you saved me from getting lost in Atlanta
I'm using stock wedge bulbs right now. I took out my M4's because they started to look green next to the 6000k's (??) -- I'm purchasing some M6's tonight, so I'll have some pics this week.

Brendan, I merged the threads When we take nightime pics (hopefully the next meet in May) we will post here in the same thread.

Look how blue the 5000ks look in the SC. Sweet.
