Vancouver FS: OSRAM 6000K D1S $120

I have a set of OSRAM 6000K D1S Bulbs I bought 5 months ago, they are really nice but now I wanted to go with a higher K color since I got LED eyelids. There is still a warrantee from HIDoutlet (lasts for one year) and I bought this set originally for ~$220. So save $100? PM me I am in the Vancouver area.

Why not just swap the bulbs?

Would be a lot easier (and cheaper)..

I am, thats why I figured maybe someone would want to upgrade their stock 4500K Xenons to this pure cool white 6000K, so I'm trying to sell these bulbs.

*edit OH the LEDS? the housing is blue... thats why its not color matching, and I want to get 8000Ks

Ah, sorry mate.. I've misread your post. I thought you were selling the entire unit (w/ballasts and all).

I might be interested.. Can you post a pik with the lights and fog on?

darn it.
i just received led eyelid bulbs and they are little too blue to me too.
i thought 6000k would match it, but now i guess i need 8000k.

how far off is it?

6000K OSRAM w/ LED eyelid conversion.

(For the LEDs I only leave the sides in... i prefer the look... with all 4 bulbs in, it looks really awkward to me because its too bright and blue)

* I actually experimented with this setup today and it might have solved my problem, I might not even need to sell my bulbs anymore =P the osrams are PURE WHITE with a tinge of purple, I put in my oem next to my osrams, put the OEM to shame... oem is a dirty yellow...

Very nice 6000K lights and color wise. Just curious, what LED are you using for the eyelids? Thanks.

Basically the same type of bulb, but DIY'd own resistors into the harness so I didn't need to spend a fortune on the ones being sold currently with integrated resistors on them. It is a pure white, but the housing is blue so the end result is something more of a light blue rather than a pure white as I had hoped.

I found that if I just left in the side ones that the eyelid is filled in kind of by a 'gradient' effect and that looks much more aggressive than just the whole strip lighting up (looks too friendly with that setup, IMO)

It looks like a Renault with only the sides

Btw, you can get "warm" white SMD LEDs and experiment with them. The casing is indeed coated with a blue
