I just put these in last night but to my dissapointment they were not the same color. One is more purple and the other one is purple with a hint of blue. Will they even out to the same color over time? Is this normal or should I see about an exchange?
Thanks,
Zac

I dont have an answer for you, but I'm interested to know if thats normal. I think its supposed to be more on the blue side.

Yeah I think its suppose to be blue and I think 8000 and up is kinda a purpleish..

they will take a couple hundered hrs to turn. Wether or not they will ever match? time will tell.

they make the bulbs in different color... i have had 6000k in both bluish-white and purple...

but if they are both same temp and same manufacturer, they will 'break in' after a while and the color should match... wat sucks is usually im so anal about these things, when one light goes, i change both of them out.. yeah dumb and expensive but it is my OCD...

UPDATE: I've been talking with hidking about my problem and they are sending me out a brand new set. My old bulbs are gone so they agreed to let me send the old set back upon receipt of the new one. These guys are great

they should be more purple than blue.. ihave philips 6k and they are slightly purple hued when fully warmed.. 8k is more blue.. like laser blue..

fsttyms1

6 k should be more blue and 8 should be closer to purple

Mr Hyde

The higher up the scale you get after 6000, the closer to purple you get.

how much did you pay for those bulbs?? i bought mine off ebay and still didnt install them...maybe i shoulda gone with HIDking but i never heard of em

Anything past 6000k and you're out of name brands like Osram Sylvania and Philips, therefore quality won't be top notch as with OEM brands.

I paid 135 shipped. Not worth double that for a name IMO. These bulbs are brigther than stock (but i think that's because my stockers were almost 5 years old) and they are a better color so both of my objectives are met. These bulbs aren't tinted either and look/feel exactly the same as the stock osrams.
