Not too white and not to purple. And the output lumens is still pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggs400 Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 anyone else had to upgrade bulbs? or replace bulbs with oem ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggs400 Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 just wanted to let everyone know that this weekend my 6500k kit came from www.xenondepot.com they look amazing. like stock only a little bit more of a bluish hue to them. none of this purple or any of that stuff. i was a little hesitant about losing light output but there was none of this. they also had a sale on right now and i got them for pretty cheap in comparison to what you would pay at a lexus dealer for their replacements, and these ones look better. they also shipped the next day and i had them pretty much 2 days after i ordered them. just thought i would let everyone know. OH, haha almost forgot. if you ARE going to replace your HIDs, replace them both at the same time. it just looks better and you can be gauranteed similar life expectancy, which should be lifetime. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddevil Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 This is just to give some info...I know those HID bulbs are expensive. But you can go to EBAy and get the Factory Phillips bulbs (4500k) for 80.00 Dollars (2). I have just replaced mine and both ballast.

SKperformance Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 xenon depot is a rip off, i still have no idea why anyone buys from them with their prices. If it fits a d2r or d2s bulb it is oem and pretty much all made by phillips which is who makes all oem bulbs. 6000k is the nicest to me in colour and output.
