Ok, story. Ordered 8000k hid bulbs to replace stock ones in my e420 also ordered hid fogs 8000k all from stealth auto. got em yesterday in an box marked D2S and that was all. no color kelvin or anything. threw one in to see how it looked. and i was dissapointed. it was BARELY a change from the stock 4300k! Im wondering if this is the 6000k kit. The fog kit was marked 8k and i was gonna throw in the fog kit but, ordered H3 when i have H1. has anyone got the stealth auto 8000k hid's? if so how is the color?

Pics prob will support opposing arguments (NOT AS BLUE AS IN THE PICS MY CAMERA JUS SUCKS LOTS OF NUTS! )

Just installed a Pilot 6000k bi-xenon kit in my inlaws' W124 the other day, and even with 6000k it looks VERY un-oem. Too much non-stock in my opinion. My W210 puts out a lot of light with the stock H7 setup. I've been comtemplating getting Depo's and adding a Pilot kit to them but now I dunno...

Did you use a kit for the 8000k hid? If so, do you recall the brand ?

BTW, i like the color... and where i live, it rains 12inches a year. But ironically there is a storm as we speak outside.

h0rn3t920

haha stealth auto bro. thats the brand lol

Does these HID's get the light error?

ok the bulbs came back. the replacment bulbs were in 2 boxes. the outer one had a 8k sticker on it. inside that box was another box without a label on it. the bulbs were in that box. i put them in, SAME AS BEFORE!!! WTF? i am really pissed especially when the guy is telling me maybe they arent as blue as i thought they would be. but, They arent realt much blue at all. and it took a month to get them back to them the first time.

43fatman u sure ur bulbs are from stealth auto? and what kit exactly did u get? did u originally have the xenons? or jus stock h7?

I installed PIAA 8k bulbs in my 210. Here's a pic. They are HQ bulbs so they have a white/blue look to them. I found the cheaper bulbs will have a much more blue tint to them. Too much blue looks cheap (ricey) IMO. A Light blue tint looks much better however, they are not as efficent as the hyper white.

I had factory hid's i just put the bulbs in. It took all of 2min. Yes they were stealth auto, Mercedes balast are better Quality.

so like was it a major difference from the stock 4300k? like it looks like it in the pics but jw

43fatman

Not really mate. I did it in the daylight and i could hardly tell.

h0rn3t920

i do know it might be alot to ask but can you take a pic of the headlight lens close up with the light on? because in the daytime you cant tell the difference, in the dark, u can barely tell the difference. i really dk if these bulbs just arent matching up to what i thought they would be or they are jus the wrong ones

Like urs look excactly how i want them to be. do they appear more blue in the pics? are they actually that blue? my HIDs that i got from them and BARELY blue.

I had 8000k bulbs in my oem xenon lights years ago and remember them being pretty darn blue, I wouldnt confuse them with 4300k.

8000K is diamond blue; its barely blue; I have 8000K for my low beams; 10000K is pure blue and i use 10000K in my fogs
4300K is the brightest youll get; ill take a pic tonight to compare my 8000K to yours

h0rn3t920

my lights are pretty awesome now from up close they dont look blue but from afar, they blue My fogs dont exactly match my headlights for some reason but i dont care its still hot as hell

Stealth Auto Slim ballast 3000k Fogs here.

Bluish Green on start to BRIGHT Golden Yellow when warmed up.

Phillips Ultinon 5000k headlights.

As blue as it goes without sacrificing brightness.

PIAA Tera LED city lights with built in resistor.

Perfect match to Phillips Ultinon!

Still get lamp out sometimes but that could be the LED licence plate lights.

Quadcammer

any particular reason you want such blue light?
