Default Anyone with 6000K(diamond white) HID and 8000K (light blue)

I have a 6000K bulb with 55w ballast hid kit then i bought a replacement bulb which is 8000K light blue but i can barely notice the difference. Is this because of the projector headlights or they just sent me the wrong bulb?

It's probably because this two temperatures are extremely close in color.

Also, you should switch to a 35w kit so you don't melt your housing or fry your wiring harness.

It doestn even show the blueish thing of the 8000k. Ill try 10000k (deep blue). Ive been using 55w ballast for how many months no melting. I think stock halogen bulbs are hotter arent thet?

It's not the heat from the bulb you should be worried about, it's the heat from the current draw.
