I have an 08 AC with all factory options. The dealer i bought them from replaced one bulb instead of both at the same time, so one looks 4300k and the other hints more 5000k. I've searched for them from ebay to blindinghid to ddm and dont know which to trust so some input would be helpful. also I want to HID the fogs but cant find a good kit either. Since the headlights are factory HID its just the change of the bulb im guessing for an all around 5 or 6k temp? Links are much obliged.

I would but its too small of an issue to even bother, plus they fixed my power steering leak three times for free. Also just went with "ultra" 6500k bulbs from ddm and a 6k hid kit for my fogs.

Damn....you'll actually lose a lot of illumination at that temp. 5k bulbs will be your best bet if you want a more blue light output without losing to much illumination. The 4300k bulbs are the best balance of performance and looks.
