I got the 6000k from eric, and I must say his kit is of great quality. My only issue is that the 6000k bulbs are much bluer than the 4300k xenon headlights on my Porsche Cayenne. I iwll be sending the bulbs back to eric to get them replaced with 4300k. Anyone have the 4300k? Opinions?
Thanks

ask for 5000K bulbs, they are perfect white, no signs of blue at all and look brighter than oem used 4300K

I think the 4300k has a little yellow to it along with white. and the 6000k is more white with a little blue to it.

If you like a little yellow, then 4300k is the way to go.

I am also going to be ordering Elite very very soon. Im trying to get that almost perfect xenon color. I want it to match my LED turn signals I have. SO Im thinking the 6000K? How easy are they to install also?

I have 6000K headlights and LOVE them. I had them on my last E60 too. Now that I have no fogs, these lights make the roads so much easier to see, especially in the rain. Anything above 6000K is ricey and does not belong on a BMW.

Can't wait to see and drive your new car, Bill.
