i think my hids are different

[drowndindreams]

so after installing them about 5 days ago i noticed one was darker than the other. both bulbs were marked 8000k in the same box.

i thought that since they were new, after being on for a number of hours they color would change. not yet.

im starting to suspect that one is at the 8000k temperature, and the other is either at the 6000k mark or a bit higher. here are two pics i took of the bulb differences. this really sucks!

Yea the left one looks less blue..

Yeah, left one seems to be higher than 8000K. Were they both the same color when you first got them?

Yeah, left one seems to be higher than 8000K. Were they both the same color when you first got them?

prior to installation or after?

i would say 8000k vs 1000K i would call who every you got them from and c what you should do.

 

[haks310]

After.

Usually takes HIDs about 50-100 hours to break in to their true color but yeah, your situation doesn't look normal. Left one is not 8000K, like NY said, possibly 10,000K
