Xenon bulbs - Colour temperature

[NM07]

Hi chaps,

I'm looking to get a new set of bulbs for my soon to be retrofitted xenon headlights. I've been having a look at various different colour temperature bulbs, and this is the exact look I'm after:

To me, this looks like a 4300k bulb, what do you guys think? It's the exact look I'd like to replicate.

Also interested to hear any recommendations on bulbs

4300 is stock mate, highest to use is 5k as anything above starts to lose visibility.

Be careful as advised, allot cheap ones can be crap, hids4u, hiddirect are reliable suppliers.

I'll check if I've got any leftover in stock also.

Lovely thanks mate, was looking at these Osram Xenarc's, advertised at 4500k:

Amazon UK - OSRAM XENARC ORIGINAL D1S HID Xenon discharge bulb

It's from the Osram store on Amazon so should be reliable

Urm I wouldn't tbh as Amazon is rife.

Your choice.

Just seeing this thread. I took a chance and bought some Osram bulbs and they're great. See here

Xenons RetroFitted

Well I finally got round to fitting my Xenons yesterday evening. All went smoothly with genuine Kufatec adaptors and quick setting change in VCDS. If you know how to take the front bumper off, this thread made it a breeze...
