HID REPLACEMENT (pics please)

I have looked with the search engine for about an hour. I cannot find the informaiton that i need. I am looking for some information about aftermarket HID bulbs. Whats the factory kelvin # and what would be suggested for an aftermarket bulb. I am looking for a bulb that resembles a factory look ( not too much blue or purple) i was thinking about 6000k. Any information at this point would help and picutres would really be appreciated.

Kaixen is having a decent GB right now in the BM.

6000k looks good, but if you want to stay as close to stock as possible, just go with 4300k, or 5000k

www.theretrofitsource.com

they have the BRAND NEW Phillips AX6 (6000K) bulb from Germany @ $150 a pair, you cannot beat OEM quality with a price like that
or the 85122+ Bulb for $75 a pair. Your choice from there buddy.

I can also recommend this site. Bought my new bulbs from them. Got them quickly and they were packed really tight.
