4100k, and 4300k is OEM, just maybe not for your car.

Consider getting higher color temp and sell off the bulbs as (used 1 time for testing ballast) so you don't take a major loss.

You are not taking a major loss anyways, you only spent like 60$ for pair

here is a bluer one for you from phillips: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWD1V

but at a high price...

sometimes you will find oem packed (2 white box that you've got) lesser version rated at 6000k for as low as 100$ but good luck with that, wont' find it often.

If you are willing to settle outside of Phillips/Hella/Osram, go with these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1for less than what you paid for your oem bulbs

well, personally I think hid quality has improved over the years, I really don't think they will blow any time soon (the no name ones)

I'd say that if it last for a year, then you should be happy considering they are like only 60$ shipped a pair.

I am happy with 4200k or whatever, but it is you car and not mine. If you like the blue tint then go for it. Sell off the old bulbs as like new and buy the new ebay ones.

I am someone who would spent thousands of dollar on performance mods but 0$ on exterior, we have a different opinion
