4600K only... :)

Hi fellow vancouverian.........mine turns BRIGHT blue when it was turn on and about 1 mins later it will change into a whitedish yellow...normal to all MB Xenon lights....Let me explain....in Europe most of the MBs Bimmers with HID is mostly blueish white since this was allowed in Europe...but since our MVA is different from the Europe MVA we are not allow to have "BLUE" in our head light system so our color temp. was tuned from BLUEish to Whiteish.....by MB but there are still some 99/98's Bimmers with Blueish Xenon which u may sometimes see on the street those are the older models of Xenon lights from now on most of them are whitedish yellow.........except for the Honda S2000 and Audi don't ask me why...but i think it's becuse of the Projectile inside the Xenon system which u will also see some blueish in the new ML500 and SL500 from a certain different angle.....hope this info help.
