What is the correct OEM color temperature as shipped from BMW? Is it 4300K or 6000K? I have to replace a bulb and I'd like the original color temperature - trying to avoid the annoying "blue" aftermarket look. I'll be replacing both just so the color match is consistent.

Quik - i did check he paperwork at home and it was in fact 1 month. Just like my radiator blew 1 month after my warranty expired.

msammy - i'm pretty sure its the 4300k.

A radiator is a heck of a lot more than an HID bulb though...they're not willing to work you since you've already forked over the money twice before?
