Best xenon temperature and matching sidelights

[Ph1 Tom]

I've looked at a few threads on here but can't seem to find the comparison I'm looking for.

I bought a pair of xenons and fitted them tonight and it turns out they have different temperature bulbs. One looks yellowish which I assume is OEM and 4300k? The other is slightly blue and I'm guessing 6000k. Although now it's dark it looks quite white so could be 5000k...

Anyway, I want to get a matching pair and was wondering what looks best on the road for visibility? Also is it possible to get matching LED sidelights for all the temperatures?

I have the 5000k from hids-direct . They're slightly whiter than the oem 4300k without being blue and I actually think they're brighter , better visibility than the 4300k bulbs . I've also been using these 7 led sidelights , had them in about 2 years now and still going strong . They might not be the brightest , but they look good next to the Xenon bulbs . If you want really bright sidelights you're better off going for the smd's .

I've ordered the 5k bulbs, I've got some SMD sidelights knocking around I can try to see if they match nicely, if not I'll try the others.

Thanks for your help @MRBILLYUK

Just looking on that HIDS direct - are they 35w or 50w bulbs?

35w . Just click on this link and it will take you to the ones you want . Then just choose the colour temp . Like I said above . I went for 5000k , oem are 4300k . Higher the number the light gets more blue .

Cheers - just didn't want to order the wrong ones! Need new headlights all round to be honest, they're awful.
