like said the temp is 4300 Kelvins which is white. but the bi-xenon cutoff is what gives a blue tint from some distances/angles. Cheap bulbs try to mimic this but have less light output.

Many Thanx....

Thanks.. it was fster asking than trying to search the million posts. I will be doing a led fit for the cornering, Switchbacks for the turnsignals and then im goin to buy four for the tailights. I am purchasing from http://autolumination.com/
They have a **** ton of stuff and quality too, so ive heard.

Also i was planning to put in high visibillity tail lights for the brake light and high mount. This makes the brake lights blink @ 20 cps, just for the first two seconds.. With all the traffic and construction around my area, i figure a little high visibillity is a good thing..

Ive seen them on some cars, look good...

FWIW, if you're wanting a bluer color from your headlights, you can go up to 5000k bulbs. Light output reduction is minimal, and they'll get rid of the yellow-white the 4300k bulbs put off.

We have 5000k headlights on our Z. It's actually incredibly bright.

Actually, losing any amount of lumens going up to 5000k is a thing of the past.

While these are fairly expensive, they are the ideal choice for 5000k bulbs, losing no lumens and possibly outputting even more than many 4300k bulbs. These will soon be released to the USDM under the Sylvania Silverstar name.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think most manufacturers use 4300k for their HIDs.

Yeah, I'm just waiting for these to go out so I can get rid of the yellow. I like the real white with the blue in it.

Me too, I definitely need some new bulbs, my Xenarcs are close to 4800K according to my cameras white balance, which means I'm losing quite a bit of lumens. Waiting either for another GB or for them to be released to the market, hopefully under $150.

I have the 55W Morimoto 5000K's with DDM 55W slim ballasts and they're nice. Super bright in the FX35's.

Yeah 55W's are cool, but I'd rather stick with 35W and OEM ballasts. Hurry up Sylvania! lol

There was, but it was limited to I think 20 people or pairs, and I was too late. Unless there's another one going on...

I'm waiting on my set of projectors to arrive and about to purchase a DDM kit to go with it. My issue is i dont know which ballast to get, 35w or 55w. I absolutely love the oem HID look and wanted to stick to that as much as possible without having to purchase the oem ballast. I'm getting the philips 4300 bulbs but not sure which ddm ballast wattage will give me the oem effect. Dont care for super bright just want the stock look. Sorry for the noobieness

35W will give you more of a stock look. Plus, not all projectors can handle 55W.
