          6k/55w has less blue than a 6k/35w

          a 4500 w/ 55w will have more a slight yellow tent.

          6k/55w , color is like running a 5k bulb with 35w Now of a super white.
          my

          i allways run 6k bulbs :d

            55w 4500k is a pure white. Almost looks like a 100w pia bulb

              I say 5000 with the 55watt kit, it will make it look like a 4300-4500k which is what you see on new BM's from the factory.

                thanks guys i went over DDM in Huntington Beach and picked them up at there store.

                I have heard that they are shitty at shipping and sometimes they mix in match.

                I wanted to make sure they where the right ones

                I installed them and they look good.

                the car is currently on jackstands so i can't wait to see what they look like on the road.

                        If and when you borrow my headlights you can try the 5k 35w bulbs they have to compare.

                        Install was amazingly simple, no? I was shocked at how plug-and-play they are.

                            finally got the car off jack stands,
                            drove it today,
                            went to my local shop to pick up some parts and snapped a quick pic.
