Everybody loves HID's.
Appreciate it, now i just need to decide on a color temp... still leaning towards 5k, but 6k is so tempting.
...and I had someone else drive my car down the street last night, and there is seriously something wrong with my kit. They looked blue enough to be the 6k 35w kit!! I may have gotten shipped the wrong bulbs. Bleh.

55W Raptor kit w/5K kit had 4500K/5000K on the bulb box when they arrived, I would guage them more around OEM 4300K or so even at 55W.

Excellent information DigitalPro, that helps tremendously. I may just have to place that order for the 6k. Hopefully the 'variance' they speak of won't end up with crazy blue or yellow bulbs on my order.
Replacement 6K HIDs will arrive this Saturday, shipped from Cali not China this time around.
Now I just have to moved the "squirrel tabs" inside the projectors back a tad to remove the rainbow effect at the cutoff point. Can't imagine what other drivers think when they see the headlights changing colors!! Sort like a diamond sparkling...LOL

Wow, that site is really over-the-top price-wise, but I really respect that they carry OEM luxury projectors and components for retrofits.
Here's a photo of my 55w 6000k...gorgeous diamond white...
When viewing them from a distance at the edge of the cutoff, it glimmers some light blue and violet.

Just install my replacement 6k DDM bulbs, looks just like biglilsteve's ^photo, definitely like them over the V-LEDS 5K and DDM 4500K-5000K kit purchased a few weeks ago.I have some 5K LEDs in the Hi-Beam housing which match exactly now.....Done until the retrofit of real HID projectors.
Took my old HID from my 08 and popped em on my girls 11 - Bought these off eBay in 08 for $34 free shipping and there still working perfect...No relay or expensive kit...Looks awesome....8K by the way - The yellow is just glare from the license plate

DDM only carries 4 different types of bulbs. There's an article.explaining the true temps they carry. The 6000k-8000k are actually the same bulb and the true temp is 7000k.
Plus the tc2 has one of the worse light scatter and glare I've seen with an aftermarket HID kit installed.
