I think the BIX are 4100k. I heard Phillips D2S Ultinons at 6000k are a nice move up.

but the catch is: the higher the color temperature (closer to the blue spectrum of light), the lower the light output (in Lumens), so the stock 4300K is actually brighter than the Ultinon 6000K.

Ok first off I am not a photographer so dont critque please. I look at pics generally not take them.

Here is the CL65 with PIAA 8000k HB fogs- there are more blue than the pics ...



Here are the PIAA 7500K HB fogs on my E55 they too are more blue ...

I was at the game at Superdome. It was deafening. N.O. can be proud.

Vic do the bluish tint match the xenons or are they closer to the color of BMW headlamps?

Vic55

You are lucky, I want the Saints to take it all and was hoping Chicago would lose so the Saints would have home field advantage.

Oh they match the color of the BMW's more than ours.

Finally, a glimps of the 65!! Looks hot.

The bulbs are cool, too. I think I'll get the blue ones, since I don't care about intensity anyway.

Way too many options on bulbs here.I didnt even know you can change the high beam bulbs as well?I thought they were Xeon like the low beams,no?maybe Im getting confused on what bulbs to change.

Fogs
running lights(2 lights just to the inside of regular headlights)
high beams?

Obviously I need some direction here.

HEY...leave Chicago alone...we barely made it by the skin of our teeth. Rocket...you can swap out the City, Fog, AND Hi-beams which are not Xenon...all very easy to do.

jangy

The high beams are in the same housing as the running lights. When you hit high beam, the xenons turn off and the middles shine (halogens)

Jrocket, I dont think I have ever seen your car but going by site unseen the following should go down but of course with your opinion signing off:

side markers to match color of car
inner city lights to better offset your xenons(what you called running lights) bulb 168/194
Fogs to a more blue color (HB3/9006)
High beams are an option because how often do you really use them? I didnt change mine.

This is what I did but of course your tastes may differ. The Bixenon bulbs (your regular headlights) work in unison with the high beams which as Jangy said are housed with the yellowish city lights. If you need a website I posted one above but I have other local places that I have ordered from that are reputable and have quick shipping, let me know.

Yeah the fogs have never been about true lighting in my opinion even though some have put in the HID fogs with ballasts and all the extra stuff needed.
