10k have less lumens (light intensity) due to have more blue than white. This is a simple explanation, more if you study the Kelvin Scale of light....... Replacing your oem HIDs or adding a conversion kit is a big upgrade, in lighting and also the car looks very nice. Hope this help. www.sagahid.com

Who the heck told you that? Range rovers do not come with 6k bulbs, they get their color from their cutoff, just like every other OEM manufacturer. 
At first I loved the OEM bulbs but I also really like the bulbs they had in range rovers whcih i found out were 6k. So i gave those a shot and really liked them, although I did loose visablility. And ever since I've just got use to 6K visability which is why I never push my car unless it's light out. The 10,000K bulbs are my friends and he gave them to me for free so I thought about giving them a shot but they defiently won't work. If 6K visablitly wasn't bad enough 10K jsut makes it worse
I really wanted to stop spending money a while ago and I would just put in my OEM bulbs at this point to be honest but I only have one

I heard that from a couple peopel but didn't bother looking it up. It didn't seem too crazy since their lights along with the new escalade's lights have more blue in them then other cars with xenons.

Oem cars HID temps are about 4,300 (like Z) and 5,800 (BMW). Projector type beams make the light look different depending the angle you see the light. 5000k and 6000k is where you will found better lighting benefits. But finally decisions are particular. www.sagahid.com

I think if I felt the need to ever change the bulbs I would go with somewhere around 5k max. The STI lens from afar is going to make your stock HIDs look very blue due to the very sharp cutoff.
A.H, about getting the dust out. The only thing I would try is to take the headlight off the car and try blow some air into it with a compressor on a lower setting to see if you can blow some out. Or maybe even try one of the household dusters that retain dust once you pass over it. Im surprised Cincity would have any in there considering they do it every day.

Ok you guys I need help and fast. After searching on the forum everyone seemed to recommend that 7440 bulbs fit perfectly in teh front turn signal and that the best brand were the luxeon. Well i got them and they cost 50 bucks and they don't fit my car. They did however fit my freinds G 35 perfectly......I need to know asap what the right bulb number is so I can order it and have my car running again. I haven't driven my car in like 5 weeks because of headlights and I miss it dearly. Any suggestions are extremly appreciated. Thx

This is false. All current model BMW's use 4100k bulbs, the only bulbs that BMW ever used that were not 4100k, were the Philips 85123 which was never officially released from philips, and is closer to 5000k. These were only used in early HID equipped BMWs with e46 style projectors, and only for the first few model years.

AH go to VLEDS.COM for the turn signal leds. They have a high-power led that can be easy visible in daytime. Remember to add load resisitors. www.sagahid.com
