I just got stopped by DPS for my headlights being too blue! And also for a lack of high beams (which I do have) but really how much whiter can I go than 6000k before I start getting into yellow? I have thought since I got them that they were more blue than they should be since they are different color than my fogs but I figured maybe it was because of the size of the fog housing

Are yours 55w or 35w? The color scale for both is a little differeing. 6k 55w should be pretty white, I think anything under 4300 should start yellowing. 35w 6k will be more blue. I actually hate HID's on any vehicle without projector housings

Mine are 55w, I have made sure mine arent a menace to other people on the road, actually untill today I hadn't been flashed for just having my headlights on, now if I have my fogs on that's a different story, they are blinding bright but that's why I don't run them unless im the only one on the road.

If I could find projector housings that looked good I would probably do it because I like them better

I havent seen a projector housing that looks decent on a 6.4 either. You may have to drop to 5k. Im just gonna try some Sylvania Ultra Stars or w/e pretty soon

That was actually a typo mine are 5000k. I even went back and looked at my order just to be sure but they are 5000k not 6000k. If you ever find a good looking set of projectors for a 6.4 let me know because I am interested for sure

If they are 5k they should not be blue. They should be pure white. 6k is where they are blue. I would pull the lamps out again and look at the lamp marking to make sure they really are 5k. If they are and they really are blue, I would get a different brand of lamp.
