Headlight tempeture lumens 4200k???

Are the stock bulbs in the 04 still 4200k? There was an 04 behind me last night and the lights were quite bluish, looked like 6000k.

at night through the side mirrors, every car seems to have Xenons because the side mirrors are tinted blue... took me awhiel to figure it out...

..also the lights are very blue when you just turn them on... after 5-10 seconds they warm up and become clear whitish

Don't forget the '04 has projector HIDs whereas the 1st and 2nd gens have reflector HIDs. The projector HIDs always have a bluer look to them. But I believe it is the same Kelvin temp.

On the new Acuras arent the lights a mixture of both Halogen on the inner bulbs and xenon on the outside lights the smaller circle headlights? A new TL-2004 was coming the opposite way when I was driving to school today and I noticed that the whole headlight setup was not completely xenon like on the 2003 Acura TL?? Whats up with that?!?!?!
