Hea guys, Does anyone know the factory Kelvin of the factory HID headlights?

Thanks in advance, Mike

I was told, when ordering from DDM, that most cars with HID's from the factory come with 4300K-4500K at 35 watts.

4300K is correct.

Thanks Andreas. I am going to get my lights checked. I suspect the right one is 0.7 degrees warmer than the left

FYI - 4300 Kelvin, interesting, as Daylight Color Temperature is 5500 degrees Kelvin. As tungsten is from 3200-3400 degrees Kelvin, thus a warmer light. 4300 K is a cooler light, more blue-ish, but not quite the blue of daylight. The more cooler, say above 5500 would be a cloudy day.

I used to work in lighting for TV.

I dunno, but judging from my personal experience ... my current aftermarket 4300k HIDs look about like the factory HIDs in my last 993. Judging from the comments above, that sounds about right.

Well start aiming for perfection on my order.
