Anything higher then 6000K is a waste of time anyhow. So do yourself a favor
i didn't say anything about color temperature having an effect. i said and meant that the bulbs that were shipped with the headlights which happened to be 8000k bulbs are what had an effect on operation. when i switched them to the OEM bulbs the issue was gone.

Lightwerkz your a pro with this stuff, is there a chance the 8000k bulbs shipped with the headlights are a higher wattage bulb? thats the only thing i can think of, as the bulbs have no markings on them what so ever. the box does say D2C bulbs though..

You wouldn't happen to have some 8000k 35 watt bulbs for a really good price for us, would you?

and about 6000k..i was a fan of them with the CCFLs.. but with these LEDs they have a slight blue tint that looks better with 8000k. i have 6000k fogs to make up for the lost visibility.
