5000K aftermarket bulbs absolutely exist:Originally Posted by TunerMaxima3000
They DO exist, just not aftermarket, yet. OEM's are using a 5000k in some newer vehicles, but they're very rare, and only for projectors. No aftermarket makes them yet. Not worth a jump of 700k, no one will know the difference.

My output at 55W with those bulbs:

Pure white output in my FX35's. **** 4300K.

Sadly, yes but they're just as good as the Morimoto 50W ballasts. I've seen comparison pics.Originally Posted by luvlexus101

I originally bought a 9006 kit for my old retro set up but those bulbs couldn't be used in my current set up. Originally Posted by PTNR

Plus, I don't trust that they truly have 5000K.

so would a $200 MAXIMA HALO ANGEL EYES LED PROJECTOR CHROME HEAD LIGHTS from ebay with a 55w 5000K HID kit be good if not where could i buy retrofits already made with good projectors ?

So from reading this thread, I've gathered that 55w Ballasts suck. The ones i'm looking at buying locally are 35w. is that better or worse?

Not sure I follow, are you using halogen bulb/rebased HID bulbs on your new projector headlights then. If that's the case, your OEM harness will never work with it since 02 comes with stock D2R HID.Originally Posted by alresebest

What would you like us to do, without even knowing the model of the headlights? Perhaps buy a new WIRING harness? Return the headlights and buy ones that DO fit?Originally Posted by alresebest
