What are factory HID - 6000k or 8000k?

Nice Mecha, thanks!

Mine stock look more like 8k in that chart.

Well....I put 8000k in because he said that was the most popular color. I think I might go to 6000k because the 8000k might be a little to blue to me. I think the 6000k will get me closer to what you would see on a factory Cadillac or Lexus. The 8000k are just a little bluer than that but it's just enough difference to me to make it too "aftermarket" looking to me.

I was told to put a few hours on them and that a little bit of the blue will go a way. Still.....don't know if it will be enough for me.

Anyone want to buy some H13 8000k bulbs for a Camaro? PM me....I'll make you a good deal.

I don't know.....maybe it's because I've never had HID before. I would love to be able to see a 6000k next to my 8000k and see what I like better.

I also bought the 5202 bulb for the fog lights but they are still on back order for another week or so. Do you think the 5202 bulb looks more like a 6000k or 8000k?

Anyone with a 6000k installed in the DFW area....let me know so I can meet up and compare lights.

Also....do you think it's true that the 8000k will loose a little of it's blue intensity after 100 hrs or so?

Any way to get in touch with them? Can you either PM with their email or phone or I can give you my email/phone for them to call me.

I really would be curious to see the difference.

If I did go to 6000k do you think that I would be able to sell my 8000k on this forum or maybe eBay?

Do you think that the H13 bulb would fit into an RS equipped Camaro? Wondering if someone with the factory HID would want to jump to 8000k.

h13 will not fit in a RS equipped car.
RS is a Ds1 bulb or something like that.

one person contact ss-Eric at classic it was for a customer of his at the dealership. i never met the customer. Classic just hired me to install halos and HIDs

I have 6k and 8k bulbs in my garage now. mind you they are for a charger but you can see the difference.

6k is more white
8k just a tad of blue tint not bad honestly.

just another piece of helpful info.

for whatever reason the 8k h13 bulb fits in a non-rs car easier then a 6k bulb.

if you put in 6k will the bulbs still match the halo like they do when everything is stock? i seen a bmw with white hids and yellow halos and it looked stupid

Be careful on the fogs. There are reports here on the forums of peoples fog light housings and lenses melting from aftermarket bulbs.

this is stock for the new bimmers. I really like it. and most likely, no one will notice if your headlights are a little more blue than your halos. unless you get very very blue, or very very yellow.
