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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

4K falls on the yellower side of the white temp.

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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

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. |

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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

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.
