I'm thinking of getting a pair of Philips Ultinon 6000k D2S to complement my newly installed Orion V2 LED angel eyes.
I don't want them to be too bluish though. Is 5000k (daylight) good enough? I'm not sure if the LEDs are in the 6000 kelvins.
I think the stock D2S bulbs are Osram 5000k D2S. If anyone is using Philips D2S xenon bulbs(part # 85122+) or
OSRAM Xenarc D2 Cool Blue 5000K please post any comment or review here. Thanks.
