Philips D1S 6000k?

c_jeong89 · 09-14-2010, 03:31 PM

Was wondering who has these installed on their car or even the 5000k ones which are semi new I think. Was looking for a more pure white and I think I remember hearing somewhere that the philips 6000k had a purple hue to it as opposed to blue? I don't necessarily need pics since most pics turn out more blue than what they really are but just people who have first hand experience with them. I really don't mind a slight hue as long as it's mostly just white with no yellow left.

I have 6000 K (don't think there are Philips though) and they have absolutely no yellow color, basically the ground lights up entirely white.

yeah guess so, I think I asked Mike@F1 before just couldn't remember which bulbs gave off the purple. Might be going with these just so they are a change from the regular blue hue like other HIDs

Is it all white? Or do u have a somewhat yellowish in there? I think our bulbs are 4350k but I have no clue how much 5000k will change it lol.

yup, definetly gonna go with the ultinons, been holding off because couldn't decide over $300 philips or $150 mtechs. ultinons it is, gotta save up lol.

Tee212 · 09-14-2010, 08:15 PM

I don't think they are $300. Unless you are talking about a full HID kit haha. I am just simply getting the d1s bulbs for the headlight. I think they are around $170.
