Default Xenon Burners

I have just purchased these

1x Rover 75 / MG ZT D2S Xenon Burners (Pair) - 4300K / 6000K. Replaces XBI000040 - 6000K - Pair

What are the opinions on matching bulbs, (6000K), for the Main Beam, and Sidelights. I don't want to land up with 'Yellow' looking lamps on the other lights.

The reason I have gone for 6000k Burners is that I am told they give a 'Bluey Tinge) and my car is Wedgey Blue 2 (How sad is this idea )

Hi Ronnie

That's a great look Ronnie. Can you quote me what the other bulbs are to match the 6000k.

I also like your DRL's. They look great. I'm interested in how you mounted them.

As usual your car looks 'Blingy Great'

Regards

Thanks Alf, drl's long gone now, took them off. They were mounted into the bumper. Sidelights, these
and for main beam, the only way you can get matching colour is with led bulbs. I got mine from China, very bright & white

Hi Ronnie

Thanks for that. I will chase them up.

I'm not sure about fitting the DRL's. I'm considering having 'Halos' fitted, so I think this would negate the DRL idea !

Cheers

Hi Ronnie

Have ordered up the LED Sidelight Bulbs. Thank you.

I'm not sure about the headlight bulbs though. Can you advise.

Thank you for your help

I may have mentioned this before, but I am quite happy with OEM 4300 HIDs and plain ordinary sidelights and main beam. They are plenty bright enough (the science says the 6000K are not as bright as the 4300 which is why the factory chose 4300) and as for the "yellow look" - I am inside the car, so I don't see it.

However, each to his own.

Hi again Alf, don't know if you remember the bruhaha caused last time I mentioned my Led headlights, so I'm a bit reluctant to advise anybody on them now Anyway, this is how they perform, Dipped, then Main,
