6000k is purple.

They are dimmer than stock lights.
Anything above 4500k is just for looks.

i have 6000k, they are white...not purple. Dimmer than stock? you sure cause stock is around 4300 but they are not HID so...what are stock if they are dimmer.

Anyways, I have 6000k once you go higher than that it gets a blue tint to it. They should fit fine in your x, they have the same headlights. You can look through members pics from those who have their mods in their signature. That'll show what the headlights look like. Hope this helps.

The higher the Kelvin rating the less lumens ... while 6000K looks brighter to the naked eye than 4300k, it's actually less light output. 6500K is "daylight" but there are other things to consider, like CRI and the actual quality of the bulb itself. I've seen 6000K look nice and white and I have seen it look Blue. You need to get to 8000-10000 for purplish.

I would leave the stock well enough alone, 4300K is just fine ...

First of all, thank you all for sharing your thought!!

I know the stock one is 4300K, but the reason why I want to change to 6000K is because they are closer to white than stocks...

Also I posted this question because many people in this website said cheap light bulbs burn out very easily. I want to know if JDM light bulbs last long enough.....

Again, thank you for your time guys!!!

Never heard of the brand
They are cheap
Name is JDM but doesn't say it's made in Japan

"Japan Imported JDM D2S, D2R 3000K, 6000K, 8000K, 10000K, 12000K Xenon HID Bulbs"
-Japan Imported.... what the hell is this mean? They are playing with words.

They make 6000k-12000k bulbs. - Rice bulbs


Conclusion = All adds up to the definition of cheap bulbs.

6000K is generally white, sometimes with a hint of blue - depending on the bulb brand. It is not dimmer, actually looks brighter if you're looking at it head on, but its light output is less. That's why you see a hint of your car's shadow right in front of you from regular non-HID headlights behind you?

WerD! But I kinda like the bluish "European" style headlights. So I went with
8000K.

I got my first set of 6000K bulbs from eBay ($60). They worked well for a year until one of them started acting up and would only turn on randomly. Thought it was my ballasts that were shot.
Got some quality 8000K bulbs from a vendor here ($100) a couple months ago, we'll see how long these last.
