If the left one is lower than the right, it's supposed to be like that.

those can't be 15K. The higher the number, the higher in the ultraviolet band you get. I was under the assumption that anything over 12k = purplish

Funny thing is I cant seem to figure out what the pic is showing. I read from an older thread that theres a way to adjust it from under the hood. Maybe I read it wrong idk but can some1 explain this a better.
Thanks

A different brand doesn't change physics.

i think its really just a bulb, more than 10k HID are purple. blue temp range is from 6k to 8k or a little more or less. more than 8k it will start turning purple. 15k? no way is blue like that.


here is a picture of my wrx with 8k HID
