Default Xenon bulbs - best set to buy?

Hi guys - just about to change my standard lights for a set of Xenons - thought it would be a good idea to pop new bulbs in before installing.

Is 6000 about the best temperature and where is best place to buy a set?

I replaced mine a couple of weeks ago because they were looking a bit pinkish, I brought these from Mat, others on here recommended them. They are a definite improvement on my old ones.I brought the 6000K, just a nice touch of blue to match the LED sidelights,

Sure, I got these in ice blue, they have lasted over two years up to now.



I have a picture of how they look, I will post it up for you.

Of course not Ian, go for it, they do look good at night and hopefully the burners I have had from Mat will last, the ones I took out were the original Phillips ones.



Hope it all goes well for you.

Have you fitted a HID insert to the high beam lamps?
