I understand our factory HID's are 4300K. (I think) I am thinking about installing the PIAA Super Cobalt 6600K D2R HID from Everything g35.com and wondering...Is the temp on 6600k noticeably bluer? I am looking for that blue look comparable to the factory Acura TL.

Also, I read that the D2R and D2S are compatible with the newer-ish D2C bulb assembly. Is that really true?

 

I would think 6600 is almost purple.

 

6600 has a tint of purple
i replaced my foglights with 5000 and it matches the stock HID perfect and thats the best lighting visibility.

 

The Piaa 6600 bulbs are a lot more blue/purple than the stock 4300k bulbs.

You will loose some output with those bulbs. Anything over ~4300-5000k begins to drop in actual lumens output.

What you are seeing with the TL/S2k,TSX, etc, is the cutoff of the projector. To get that type of effect you have to do a projector retrofit which is so worth it just for the additional light output and reduction of glare on other drivers.

 

yep, ive seen the piaa 6600k and theyre super purple (imo)!

 

Exactly, color at the cutoff is what you want, not a purple color throughout. Its easy to spot a real projector flicker, and high kelvin bulbs because they don't change as drastically.
