4300K (my TL) vs. 5000K (my moms RL)

Hey guys, I just put in 5000k bulbs in my moms RL since one of hers burned out a week or so ago. I think I'm gonna take the 5000k's and swap em w/ my stock HIDs. Anyways, they look more blue in the pic than they actually are, I dunno why.

my car is on the left:




Close up:




So do you guys think I should take these?

I personally think they look really good. You could always swap back if you didn't like it.

I def, think the the 5000k's look better colorwise, but you can see the difference in brightness on how well the road is lit, the 4300's provide more light on the road. But I am thinking of getting some 5300k fogs

True, I think I'm gonna do that tomorrow. Since the RL has a different headlight housing, it may look different. It's more like the TL-S in the way it's made. I guess we'll see.

Yeah, I think the color is better, but I haven't driven with the 5000k's yet so I really don't know if visibility is a big factor. I think she should have the ones which produce the most visibility, she is my mommy and I want her to be safe

I don't get it, are you being sarcastic?

They look good, but don't give that much light output on the road like your factory joints.

Yeah, definitely a drop off in light output compared to the stock 4300k.

Go with the 5000k hyper blue , it gives the car a nicer look.




P.S
