Lol yeah that was definitely not 6k.

The 5k bulb looks right, and I'd just keep it there.

Looking good

keep it with 5000K? i really don't like the yellow color, especially seeing blue light after haha. Idk why but for some reason, the 5000K light beems out a straight line instead of arced for wider vision.
keep 5000K, money back, or do whatever it takes to get correct 6000K ?lol

I say keep the 5000k. I could never see anything with those blue tinted/purple tinted lights.

Just my opinion

After 3 times of receiving new bulbs, i think i finally received "6000K".
No more noob orange lights haha

I have a question to ask. There are small orange light bulbs in my 05 350z headlight and they beam out orange light mixed with 6000K. What are those orange light bulbs for? Can i switch them with 6000K?

Are you talking about the day time running lights? If so, you can just replace them with white LED wedge bulbs for the look you want.

I think that's it. But like you see in the pic, there's orange light mixed with my 6000K lights. I want to get rid of that orange light which i assume is the day time running light. Is it illegal to replace that with 6000K?

Do you guys think that these are 6000k because these are really blue and can't really see much at night. Just hurts my eyes like hell.
Also, if you look at the pics closely there are many blots on the lighting on the ground. Is this normal?
i have 6000k, but mine are really weird.., you mind posting a few pics from the drivers seat if you can?
mine arent bright at all, but before installation i tested the bulbs and they were fine.
its not the bulbs the aftermarket company gave me..but they were pretty bright.
i got 10000k, but it just looked straight up ricey, so put the old 6000ks in..
i plan on exchanging the bulbs if i can..
any ideas on why they're not as bright as they should be?
and how to adjust the headlight?
driver side is pretty low, and passenger side is..alright.
im sure everyone would like it even..but how would i get them even?
thank you.
sry for taking up your topic 350zriot..

Search, how to adjust headilghts. It's very easy.
I tried to take pics inside but it just looks white blended with environment. I can see better at night with these 6000k than the OEM.

There is no way that was 6000k Riot.
I switched over 5000k to 6000k and compared them side by side this weekend and the only difference is:

5000k - pure white
6000k - white with a hint of blue

Your lights look they they've got the souls of smurfs trapped in them.

It looks white in the pic but in person, you can see white and little bit of blue.
I was expecting to see little bit of blue in the headlights but they are completely white, only white and blue when beam out.
