HID Headlight Buld Replacement?

Hey guy's, is there a Replacements Bulb that had a more Blue/White Tinge? Instead of the Yellow/Blue Tinge we have now? I spoke to a guy that Changed his, but forgot what Bulb Number it was? Think The brand was "Philips" Bulbs? Which had a more Blue\White color to the Bulb when on? Anyone got any more Info for this? Or a Number of the Bulb that has this Color or Brand?

Of course you also have to remember that the higher the Kalvin, the lower the light output is. There is certainly a sacrifice here.

Does anyone know the stock K ratings on Bimmers?

What Speeed said.......the higher the temp bulb, the lower the output of light.
It may look brighter, but in reality it diminishes your distance of vision.

Philips 6000 temp are probably the most common up/down grade bulb used.

Stock bulbs are 4100K. Some of the later G35s came with 5000K stock. But no stock car is 6000, 8000, 12000, or 30000K.

Here's a funny thread where someone's trying to spread misinformation about stock bulbs:

"Well if you hate it so much, you should start trying to take down BMW, because most of the new models have the 8000k headlights which are a crystal blue."
