Kensun HID light?
 
1 Attachment(s)
When I purchased my FRS it already had a Kensun HID lights installed. Attachment 138676
The passenger side light has died and needs to be replaced. Is their any way of telling the Kelvins of the bulb? Where is the best place to purchase replacements? I have seen them on Walmart's website.
This is the spec that I have found that best fits what I think I need as a replacement part:
Kensun UN-K-55W Bulbs-H11-5K HID Xenon 5000K 55W AC Bulbs, Pure White
found on the Walmart wesbite.

Quoting from Kensun's site:

Quote:

It is hard to describe HID colors accurately since many variables such as voltage, type of ballast and the environment can affect color output. Also, color perception is subjective. That said, here is a rough guide to Color Temperatures for HID bulbs:

3000k= Yellow, 4300k= Bright White with a hint of yellow, 6000k= Pure white light (some people detect a slight blue), 8000k= White light with a blue tinge, 10000k= Light blue, 12000k= Deeper Blue, 30000k= Violet/Purple.

Side comment: I'd say ditch that and go with Diode Dynamics, The Retrofit Source, and a 3rd vendor on here that I can't recall off the top of my head.

DDMtuning.com 15.00 a set of bulbs. I've been using them for all my HID needs for 10 years.

@Respect BRZ great! and these would be compatible with Kensun HID kit?
@soulreapersteve I probably will eventually but i have recently moved and need to be able to quickly register the car and pass inspection so i need the headlights to both be working.

If it's an H11 then pick out H11, should be just fine.

Sure hope you swapped bulbs to make sure it's the bulb out and not a ballast.
