Default Scion TC Hid 12000k Problem

Alright so here's the thing I bought high and low beam hid kids at 12000k from shop3specialties the only problem is how do i get the 194 projector bulb to match up the color. I bought their white 360 pair but i mean that thing looks like its yellow when I turn on the low hid beams, anyone got any ideas what color bulb and from where I should buy or am I just pretty much stuck?

is the white 360 pair just a bulb or a led replacement?? you should get a led 194 that is purple like the 12k hids... they usually have them at local auto shops like autozone, pepboys oreilys etc...

Well the 12000k are actually blue not purple and yes the 360 is a pair of LEDs not just regular bulbs.

Technically 12K is the very high side of blue and more into purple. Also, this is not a PROBLEM, this is someone needing a suggestion. Check out the LED retailers, pep boys, or any other parts store. Come on! Use your resources!

Went to autozone the dude did not even know what HID kit was offered me a pair of regular halogen bulbs telling me that was what I needed, "total moron". went to pep boys the guys there are probably "very old" at least over a 50 again asked if the newbies knew what HIDs were they said "yes" and still when i said I needed something to match up my 12000k he once again offered me a halogen bulb. Also @ Spicy_McHaggiz my pep boys and autozone people around me are idiots maybe where you live they at least know what HiDs are and what 12000k means.

I was gonna say, 'Is the problem that you can't see at night, because 12000k barely puts out enough light to be visible?'

Instead, I'll throw you a bone.

The bulb size you are looking for is a 194/168. There is no need to go ask anyone in the store for something "comparable to 12K hids" because in the store they don't specialize in that. Goto the lighting section and look around, they will have LED bulbs.

Since you think that getting around the word filter is fun to show that you clearly cannot search, look around the site. There are SEVERAL lighting sponsors in this forum. Or you can use google. What I'm saying is stop asking a forum for something you can google.
