Default Lights

I just got some new projector headlight assemblies, with lights installed! Well I have not even had these a month and already the right side projector bulb has went out (I think due to me driving down a rock road, but the light is new and it should of not went out)

Well I come here to ask for some recommendations on new bulbs. I have already done some research but do not know a lot about the kinds of bulbs! I found some 6000K eurodezigns Krypton xenon hid blue bulbs, but I want the lights like the new BMW’s have which are purple, so I found some 6000K eurodezigns Krypton xenon hid purple bulbs, so does any one know if they look the same as the BMW bulbs/lights? Also if you know of any other new bulbs that are out that are better I would like to know about them because I want the best on the market, so please give me your recommendations! They say the eurodezigns bulbs are dot compliant and are the brightest you can get without breaking the law!

Below are some pictures of the projectors!


This is what the factory lights look like!


This is the projectors, and there still brighter when I took a far away picture! (You can notice that the right side light is not bright, because I have rigged up an old light from the factor headlamps which are like 9005s or something so basically electric tape is holding the light in, when there is supposed to be h3 bulbs in)!


Picture of the projectors with the switch on Highs!


Picture of the projector with the switch on lows!


(left)Picture of High beam up close, no tint is added to the bulbs there just regular halogen clears!
(right)Picture of the projector with an old light rigged into the projector until I can get a new bulb (so I am waiting on recommendations)! You can tell that it is much darker that clears!

Thanks, and Please give me your recommendations!

I recommend getting real HID'S. If you want the best get yourself a HID retrofit. I t will be a thousand times better than your wannabe hid lights.

I have been searching the internet and have found that the 6000K bulbs dont give off as much light, but the eurolite 4100k xenon super plasma does. So I think I will go with them since these projectors have a purple blue tint already to the lens, hopefully it looks like the bmw light's to an extent. Those bmw lights have not only the hid and all the other things that go with the system, but they have the special lens that gives it a purple line at the cut off so it projects brighter, farther, and gives that purple twinkle with out the glare (the glare I do not like, I like to have a cut off line!)

So if there is any other recommendations, please give, I am dying to get some lights and I want to make a good buy because I dont have the the mad money to try all the lights in the world out!

There should be some atachments at the bottom if not I will get them up of the daytime picstures!

I did some research on HIDs and I found out that the Phillips and Catz aftermarket HIDs are pretty good. Avoid McCulloch or any other cheap kits that give you less than a 1 year warranty. You can see what happened to some of the people who had purchased McCulloch from a group buy at honda-acura here https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...d.php?t=105640.
