All HID's the Same ?

I was just wondering do all Hids work the same way? where they light up a very bright blue color and then eventually turn more of a white?

It's D2R light bulb, I've seen it in Flushing.
You could just get the 6000k D2R. Very simple to install!!
I got my HID for my Lexus at www.xenondpeot.com , check it out

I have 6000k fog lights and when i turn them on they are extremley blue and then settle down to more of a blue white color , so i just want to make sure this is normal because when i turn on my headlights they look real blue and then turn more of a white so i was curious to know if all hid setups work in the same manner.

Yes, a bit of the color differences between the stock 4300K and the aftermarket 6000k.
I still remember you told me you have the 6K foglights.

all HIDs start out bluer and transition to a whiter color when you first turn them on. it is normal.

All stock HIDs have to use 4300k due to the government. What makes HIDs with the same temperature look diferent are the headlight design. Projector makes them look more blue and purple stock but do not project as well. Reflector headlights look more pure white and give a wider ray.
I think 5500k is about sunlight or pure white. 6000k is blueish. 8000k is purpleish. The higher the temperature the more color from the bulb. But you see less as the light is less intense.

Some cars now use adaptive lightning systems that turn in the direction of the wheel. Some luxury cars have auto-leveling HIDs.

Remember, the bulb turns color during initial startup as the it's cold and the heat makes it change color, to white.
