"6000k" Philips Ultinons?????

okay since x-mas is over, i recieved a set of "6000k" philips d2s bulbs for x-mas from my ex-girl friend. after i installed them... the bulbs do not seem like they are 6000k.. either she got scammed from who ever she bought them from or either im just color blind. she said she ordered it off the internet.

here are the pics. take a look and you guys tell me if these are just some regular OEM stock d2s bulbs that are 4300k.









man compared to this guys 6000k philips ultinons ... mine are like sh*t... =[

I have Philips Ultinons 6000k and mine looks a bit different from yours... But I am not sure whether it is your camera's satuation setting or...? I used Sony T-1 to take the pics.

Looking at that guy's d2r phillips 6000k, it looks like my old accord; in the beginning the light is bluish but in the end it is going to turn dead white. I think the projector lens refines the dead white into more crystal white a bit.

let it burn in. I takes time for the bulbs to reach their max brightness and true color; be patient. Check the box to make sure your EX bought the right ones, and from a trusty retailer. If so...then just chill and wait for a month. You will see it get more blue as time goes by. Trust me.
