The problem with generic bulbs is that there aren't many standards so the color might be a higher Kelvin than 6000K.

If you don't want to spend as much money on bulbs, get some MTECs.

Me and a few other people on the board are running.

Personally, i've had 6000k phillips ultinons before and these MTECs are brighter and whiter than the Ultinons.

then are probably aren't 6000k and closer to 5000k. The further you get from 4300k the dimmer the lights get

For all you OEM replacement HID bulbs, and the best brands like Philips and Hella (Osram), I buy my stuff from this guy. He has 100% authentic brands and for a decent price..Philips ftw!
