I need to replace the HID bulbs and I pulled one out yesterday to see the numbers on it so I can order the same exact pair but Im a little confused as I can't tell if this is a 4300K color bulb or what.

They've had some teething issues initially due to rapid growth but they've been around long enough to run a tight ship now.
Use quality 3w osram units instead of the cheap stuff

They've also got a good head start on LED's as they use the quality 3w Osram units instead of the cheap stuff on their premium led's.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I need to replace the HID bulbs and I pulled one out yesterday to see the numbers on it so I can order the same exact pair but Im a little confused as I can't tell if this is a 4300K color bulb or what. These numbers range all the way up to 12000K and I want to have the same color temperature as I have on there now. And what the hell does that number mean with the arrow pointing to it?
Thanks roadsession. I guess I wasn't clear on my question. How do I know what temperature my current bulb is as I like the color of the light and I want to get the same.
Most if not all factory stock bulbs are 4300k. If you want it slightly more blueish without looking like rice then 5k. Anything above, you start getting into being too blueish then purple once you go past 8k.
4300k-5k has shown to be the brightest in terms of illumination and hence the reason why OEM's stick to that Kelvin rating.
If you have some night time pics of your lights, we can probably tell what kelvin's they're at.
Thanks guys. Don't have any night time pics. Im just gona go with either 4300k or 5000k whichever one I can find cheaper.
Jason whats your price for a pair?
996pp, I have Osram-Sylvania for $140.00 pair minus Rennlist 10% discount for $126.00 shipped and no tax. Or I have a Jahn brand for $110.00 pair minus 10% for $99.00 shipped.
I can also have them to you before the weekend for no additional shipping charge.

I use DDM bulbs in all of my cars, never had one die on me. OEM-quality light output and the color of the bulbs is always consistent. About $30 a pair after shipping.
They also offer a 4500k bulb, which is just a hair whiter than your standard OEM 4300k bulb.

+1 for DDM. They were one of the first to bring aftermarket HID to the US and one of the largest distributors in the US. They keep all the best ones to themselves and sells the rest to others for private label resellers. The color of their bulbs are always consistent since they tightly control their batches. They've also got a good head start on LED's as they use the quality 3w Osram units instead of the cheap stuff on their premium led's. The owner is american but actually owns a few production factories overseas so he directly controls QC, specs, batch control, etc. They've had some teething issues initially due to rapid growth but they've been around long enough to run a tight ship now.
