DDM HIDs Question
So, I got my HIDs installed  but, it looks a little bit too white, i ordered a 55W 10K. Now, do these appear to be off in your opinion. I think they may have sent me the wrong bulb.  or do HIDs need to be broken in.. like i know they need to warm up but like I drove with them for a good 20min and still no change...
opinions ???

its because they are 55w. the higher the wattage the more the color is washed out

10k should be more blue. higher wattage does make it whiter... but those are pure white.
me thinks you got the wrong one.

Just bought me some 35w 6k's. Can't wait!! I thought about 12k's for a looong time, just to be different, but I figured it would look like crap. I went with the raptor ballast tho. Does it really make a difference whether its slim or not?
