$10 Cheapest Easiest best upgrade - HID 6000K

[bimmerFanatic]

I got a pair of brand new D2S 6000K off ebay for $10 (Buy it now price). The seller (hidwholesale88) was very reputable and mentioned on many forums. Yes they are not the expensive $200 Philips bulbs but they are doing quite an amazing job. They are brighter and bluer when compared to my 3 year old OEM 4300K ones. Definitely and upgrade. We'll see how long the bulb lasts...maybe I'll get 8000k next time around.

Prices for HID complete Kits have dropped to the $100 mark so it makes sense that bulbs are selling for that cheap.

There's a lot of posts covering this "upgrade". One guy said "... the light output certainly won't be white. The purest white is in the 4300 to 4500 K range. 6000K will look very blue, and will lack intensity. I changed my lamps to 5300K a while back and hated them because it made it too difficult to see the road at night, so I went back to the originals. 6000K would be even worse. If you want your fogs to match your headlamps, get bulbs in the 4300 to 4500 range."

Sounds like it's not clear if this is a good change to make.
