Question Can Bi-Xenons Headlights take 14000K,15000K, or 30000K Bulbs ? Pink or Purple Look

warning - this first post is a spam post, do not click on the link, the site is most likely shady. -- vraa (moderator)

I have Bi-Xenons on my c230 with currently 6000K bulbs and the color is white. Im looking to get a pink or purple color. I think this is the best look, and its different from other peoples setups. I like to be unique. But the problem is that I dont know if the setup will take these bulbs or not at these temperatures. I do know the lumens do decrease. But at this site called www.hidlook.com all the lumens remain the same, just higher temperatures and colors. I would like to get this look. Do anyone know any good brands where I can change the current white setup to a pink or purple look ? I would also like to do this to the fogs without converting to Xenon. Any good halogen bulbs that can make fogs pink or purple ?


Heres what I am talking about

I like the purple or pink better since it gives a more futuristic look than any other color. My question is will bulbs that have 30000K temp will it melt the wiring harness because of high temperatures ? Is this too high ?

There is a question i wonder if you guys can help with. What are some good fog lights to get? I have 8k hids, and would either like something close to that / ice white, or do a yellow set up kida like the IS300, any help would be great. looking to buy like this weekend. But from what im reading in the forums, i want to stick with a halogen vs more hid lighting. thanks again.

thanks for the info. The yellow does look good with the hids in the is300, But with all my other lighting being ice blue, i think it may conflict with my running lights. what do you think ?

Im trying to do the same thing to my e55. This is unique it makes your car stand out. 8000K, 10000K, and 12000K are old fashion now. 14000K, 15000K and 30000K is more futuristic and better looking.
