Xenon bulb replacement!

[m03nn400]

Hey all,
I recently bought 2 new xenon philips d2s bulbs from xenonmaster on the net, i fitted them over the weekend but they don't seem to be the same as my old bulbs, not as blue. Infact they look more like normal headlamp bulbs rather than xenons after they've warmed up. When i switch them on they are really blue but then that blue disappears and i'm left with yellow lights. Anyone else had this problem?? Not sure whether to send them back and put my old ones back in. All the codes are the same apart from the one on the bottom hand side?!?

The coulor on the bulb is 4300 kelvin, and is just a bit higher than halogen bulbs.......You should get a higher kelvin to get the blue look.....between 5000-6000 Kelvin, but don´t go higher as your lights then will be purple

don´t know if philips makes it in different versions with higher kelvin

[scottlm]

6000k didnt wanna go 2 much higher as the higher kelvin you go the beam is not as bright, but its choice at the end of the day!

yeah i wanted as near to factory as poss thats why i got the 4300k but i thought it would be the same as the bulb that came out but its not. Are the stock xenons slightly higher kelvin than 4300k?!?
