A very good HID FAQ and Info site!!
http://clublexus.com/Information/Tec...l/HID/hid.html
i found while looking for lude pics.. :thumbup: it has very good info.. i figured this would be a good place for it
just a cut-out
"The following is probably one of the largest and most deceitful marketing ploys exploited on the internet today. So I will state, for the record: Osram-Sylvania's highest color temperature bulb is 5400K and Philips' highest color temperature bulb is 5800K (marketed at 6000K Ultinon). Nowhere on either of their corporate or consumer websites do they claim, endorse, or offer any HID bulb or kit that produces light over 6000K. I subscribe to both companies' online newsletters so in the nearly impossible event that they do make a 7000K bulb, I will be one of the first to know about it and this page will be edited on that same day. But here is why Osram and Philips will never sell you a 7000 or 12000K bulb. Osram and Philips pretty much have a monopoly on OEM bulbs and make plenty enough money off selling OEM 4100K bulbs to ride it out indefinitely. So there is no reason whatsoever for either of them to nurture the trendy idea of high Kelvin blue/purple bulbs at the expense of their professional reputations."
