HID 6000k?
I installed my 6000k HID light bulbs that i ordered from HIDextra.
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'm sure that these are 8000K upward!
I have 6000k in the BMW and they are very less blue than yours. But the best way to go with are 5300K. Had them in my Leon Cupra R. Try to get them and your eyes will be very happy...

Lol just playing man.
Those don't look 6k bro. Look almost actnic. 10-15k
Honestly man i don't think they look bad.
Ever screw with aquariums?
Aquarium lighting uses the same ratings with the lights, you can get a pretty good idea of the tints by looking through the bulbs offered by manufactures.
But to answer your question,
No those do not look 6k. At all.

there aren't 6k. 6k is diamond white, with a LITTLE blue tint to it. So pasically crystal clear white. so these are 10k+. Whoever sent them to you fked up. No wonder you can't see sh*t lol, wait till you drive in the rain.
+1. I have 8000K in my Z right now, and they're not as blue as yours...

Like you see, i took many pics to show that what you see in all the pics show blue light, not like one pic shows white and another shows blue.
Now that i saw the pics that Zapperoni attached, mine definitely looks like 10000K.

Karen at HIDextra sent me a 5000K bulb to see if its my liking. i really don't think that what she previously sent me was 6000k. There shouldn't be much of a difference between 5000k and 6000k right?
I installed one 5000k and another 6000k. I"ll see how they compare tonight
