D2s bulb question

NorcalCI · 10-03-2006, 11:42 AM

ok i just checked bimmian and they say that 8000k is more blue while 6000k is more white/purple. im really confused because i thought it is the other way around. is it a typo?

Whats a aftermarket d2s bulb thats good quality?
Ive heard of Philips Ultinon but, from what i understand their 6000k look more like 5000k.

Im really looking for a bright blue/white light D2S bulbs. TIA

To answer your first question, the higher the kelvin temp, the bluer and less useful the light is for the road. You would probably be happy with 6000k temp. 8000k is way too blue (for me at least).
Buy bulbs from Jlevisw.com, I've read great things about them.

6000k's are purple-ish.

8000k's are blue-ish.

Ultinon's should be the only way to go if you can afford them and want quality.

Your 8000k is bright blue/white?

Edison@JleviSW · 10-04-2006, 01:32 PM

You can purchase our D2S bulbs in a variety of color temperatures. I highly recommend 6000k but if you want that aqua blue effect, 8000k would be the way to go. 6000k is a pure white with a hint of blue.

Correct.

IMO, 8000k, looks much better. But it is all personal preference. If there is anything else you need, let me know and I can work something out for you.
