Quick question please

I know that OEM HID (High Intensity Discharge) burners are 4300K colour temperature but, are those you see on Mercedes, BMW etc, that look bright white head-on but with a slight (not boy-racer blue) blue tinge 6000K please?

mine are 6000K Paul

About right if you ask me, any more and you will be needing the stick on flame graphics on the bonnet and a surfboard for a spoiler

Cheers Dave

That's what I have then. Just couldn't remember. I'm wondering whether to try a replacement bulb before I spend a mint on a ballast. I'm pretty sure the HID unit had this snag previous to my fitting the 6000K burners but now I'm not so sure.

I have my old 4300k in a box in the cupboard..............somewhere :0, want to try them first?

Am I right in my recall that it's a bumper off job Dave?

Oh yes

If Dave can't find his I have one of my old original 4300k units.
It was working ok but I thought if I don't change it I'll only ending up doing it a week later
