hey guys, i am currently running the 6000k Philips Ultinons and need to have more color. these are mainly white with a slight purple hue, not much different than the stock 4300k imo. im looking to get some 8000k's and wanted to find out which brand to go with. im looking for the most color i can get. i used to have 10000k in my e46 and just loved the way they looked but the light output wasnt that great which is why im trying to get the 8k's instead this time.

any suggestions or pics?

thanks

I have the 6000k bulbs from jlevi and they've been working nice, try them. For the best bulbs the philips ones are the best but I'm not sure if they make 8000k

I loved my 6500k and 7000k bulbs. To bad they are not mass produced anymore. I personally feel 8000k is too blue. If its color you want how about 3000k.

I love my 8k's, especially with white AIBs. Go for it!

I would select a brand that offers a warranty and has a good reputation as far as reliability. We have carried our own brand for about 2 years now and have been very happy with the level of reliability and longevity
