Default Been wondering the same thing...

a recent post said the big "color temperature number" lights are for "looks" only. Blue, purple etc.... and actually throw LESS light down the road than the stock bulb @ 4200k. I'm thinking the 5000k Philips replacement could be the right tradeoff, assuming max illumination (not color) is desired. anybody??


from ECS Tuning:

Philips Ultinon 5,000K D2S Bulbs-Priced Each
Increase intensity & eye appeal of your OEM HID lights. Upgrade your factory HID bulbs with these Philips Xenon HID Plus 5000K or Ultinon / Cool Power 6000K bulbs. The Philips 5,000K "Plus" bulb emits a diamond white light with great compromise between performance and color output. The Philips Xenon HID Ultinon / Cool Power 6000K bulb emits a distinct white light with a slight blue/purple hue and still retains all the HID advantages.

These genuine Philips bulbs are one of the highest quality bulbs available on the market today. These bulbs are the direct replacement of your factory HID bulbs. No modification to bulb or headlight housing is required.

The life expectancy of these Philips bulbs is between 2,500 to 3,000 hours which is equal to 5 plus years of actual driving time. These bulbs also come with 1 year warranty.

$144.95 (each)
