all we need is a pic of 5000k which is my personal choice, its a happy medium. They get rid of the slight yellow from the 4300 but does not go blue like the 6000k. Basicaly just a crisp bright white.





The yellowness in 4300K is only for a short time untill u put some hours into your HID's, its also more noticable in our reflector because ours wasnt designed for HIDs. You will experience the same with the 5000K as well, Philips brand that is. My Philips 5000K was used for a month by my friend untill he totaled his car so now its in mine. You really cant tell that much of a difference with the projector except for the part where the cut-off "Z" beam is, that line is SHARP blue so oncomming traffic see a flicker of blue, dark blue, pink to white. Thats the fun with having projectors, especially valeos I beleive the pictures above are valeos because my beam is EXACTLY the same.

However when my friend bought the Philips 5000K (85122+) and for the first time turned them on, the went from blue to yellow. That scared the crap outa us but we came to find out that it takes a week or so to get the true HID color. And since its the 85122+ one, it will color shift MUCH quicker then that of a conventional 4300K.
