What Colour temperature?4300K yellowish white, , 6000 crisp white light with delicate to moderate blue tint.I have been driving with HID Xenon’s now for many years and as you may have guessed I have tested every combination of Kit, bulb and colour. The following is a summary of my findings (objective as I bought light meters to measure the actual light outputs) and recommendations (both objective and subjective), which most customers agree with. OEM is 4300K and without a question gives the most amount of light. I have tested dozens of bulbs and compared them all to a Philips D2S bulb as a reference point. The difference between colours and manufacturers is really quite shocking. The best 6000K bulb produced 15% less light than the Philips 4300K - while the worst 6000K bulb was a dreadful 70% less. That said, our bulbs being the best ones with 15% less light in measurable terms, actually produce a very white light with a slight blue tinge to look at. For every day driving this really is a more pleasant light than the yellowier 4300K. If you’re after the coolest looking Xenon’s with amazing performance then 6000K is my recommendation If you are after the most amount of light on the road then I recommend the 4300K - which is a yellowish white 4300K whilst having NO blue and for the purists we do have some 4300K bulbs also. If you want the blue look like the OEM factory fit Xenon’s then please remember that the blue is not produced by the bulb, but by the reflector/projector lenses. Refraction spilt the colour of the light like a Prism if you remember that experiment from Physics. When you get up close the bulb is actually 4300K with a yellow tinge. 8000K bulbs or higher are not the answer - they produce very little light – up to 70% less than the 4300K and the Police do not like them. |
