Talking Head lights

Ok so today I bought some new bulbs for my head lights, apparently they are 4k and are supposed to be a bright white light. I noticed that there is still a hint of yellow, and I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced this before also?

Any info in lighting would be greatly appreciated.

What brand are they? The Philips CrystalVision claims to be 4K and offer "bright white xenon look".

Yup! Those are the ones I bought! I'm wondering if it has to do with the actual harness of the lights.

I was about to order those ;p , but ended up ordering the Philips Diamond Vision instead. Haven't received them yet, but they claim to be 5000K color temp. After testing them out, I can let you know how they are, but from the pics people posted on Amazon, they look nice and white.

Surprisingly they turned out to be a pretty solid white. I took a long drive yesterday and I was actually pretty satisfied with them. There was also a huge power outage in my neighborhood so they def helped haha. But yes pleas let me know how the diamond vision are please.

Hey,

I received/installed the Philips Diamond Visions today. I can confirm that they're a nice, clean white without looking bluish or ricey. Looks fantastic.

I thought they also gave a very clean look too! I actually bought some LEDs on Amazon prime day lol. I'm gonna install them later and I'll give you a follow up later.

So these are the bulbs I bought on prime day. As you can see in the pic, the ones on the left are the crystal vision, and the ones on the right are the new LEDs, the LEDs are 6k.

I recommend a 5000k bulb. I personally use a Xenarc CBI (D4S for BRZ) and love it. although it's expensive, it is a quality bulb.
