You're absolutely right.

I flew off the handle.I would've handled it the right way,and never blow up,but the civic comment did it.

That was my bad.
No worries, sorry for my counterstrike as well buddy. At least we provided some much needed entertainment for the guys here Seriously though, welcome to the forums, I'm sure you'll find it pretty helpful as you embark on your modding journey. Good luck to you!

Pretty good Das, the woman and I hosted a small get together here of 16 people. Played more host than resident drunk, but all went well!

Thanks..I've been on the board for a while,I used to have an E92 335i,and recently traded it in for a 135i.I had some 6000k bulbs on my old E92 but they were a pure white,which was nice,but I was trying to go for something with a little more blue.Nothing to drastic,nothing like a 10000k +,thats why I was hoping someone would post some pics,just to give me an idea.I know there's several members who have 8000k here,but after combing thru several pages of threads,I figured it be easier to post a thread.Basically looking for a nice white with some blue. Btw how are those 6700k ? Would you mind posting some pics ?

Sure thing man, gotta get my car back from the shop first. I have OSS, there is a picture of them sorta if you search for helix OSS and look for my review. I love em. Touch of blue, very focused! 6700k was the sweet spot, especially for the OSS angels

I don't see anything wrong with 8000K...
I think it's absolutely fine as long as you don't do anything more like 10,000K.

Aren't those pics from reggie @ mwdesign ?

I thought those were from his ride,and iirc,those are actually mtec 9000k.

Btw what's up with the eBay sellers using the same pic ? I emailed a user by the name of globalhid asking what rating those were in the pic and they said they were 10000k.

Unfortunately the higher up you climb on the Kelvin scale, you sacrifice color for light output. Even with 6700k I noticed a significant reduction in lumens from my 4350...ish stock. I had GP Thunder 8500s in my fogs, and I couldn't see nearly as far as when I had Bimmian 6000k bright whites. I mean, they're fogs, who really uses them for light output? but still and all...Still waiting on a swap, will have pics of my OSS with the 6700s within a few weeks. Are you sticking with your stock rings? What's your plan on those?

Yeah that's very true..my old 6000k didn't lose too much output,to be honest they looked just as bright.

I've got some RD LEDs for now..I might go the BavX route or try to retrofit the new LCI headlights down the road.

Btw I saw some pics of yours..the ones where you had your OSS Angeleyes.Which bulbs were those ?

None of the pics in this thread are 6700k. I believe sdfranco was talking about his lighting setup with the oss. Those pics above are at least 8k
