I like the color on those. Not yellowish at all. Not sure if my Ecode housing would make a difference. i doubt it would.
I like the whiteness of that. (6000k)

I believe the E-Code headlights will only make a difference in the beam pattern and that's about it.
And Thanx, the color is a pure crisp white. I love my HIDs.

The only thing I dislike about them is the fact that they have a bluish tint @ certain angles. And I'm tired of seeing BLUE everywhere!

I know!!!

But I thought glare was caused by the reflectors of the stock headlights, right?
I want projectors but I don't want to get DEPO projectors though. I wish HELLA made some projectors without HELLA Celis Rings.

Or I could get the MKV look headlights, those don't look that bad.

that's one of my reasons why i don't want projectors also cuz some projectors due to the lens i believe, turns the light output into a really strong blue or purple light color.

i just don't know

and nice work btw on the custom projector headlights. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Re: (BostonVR6)

Re: (jetta98k2)

The lincoln is either 4100k or 4300k (same difference).
Wow 8000k, i think thats too high for me. I want more white then blue...and definitly not yellow (like the 4300k)
nice comparison pic though http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Yes and no.
A projector TOTALLY distorts the light to create 'other' colors - usually it's blue/purple.
But this occurs only at the cutoff.
From my car (mk3). I retrofitted OEM MK4 Golf HID projectors into my MK4-Look lamps (so basically this is an OEM MK4 HID pic):

Notice on the left side right on the cutoff there is a thin line of blue?
This translates (at a distance) to a much thicker blue band.
When you see this color you are looking at the cutoff.
The reason the right side doesn't have it is b/c I actually tinkered with my projectors (as a project) to make that blue band. I hadn't gotten to the other side yet.
So, not all projectors have that effect as "badly" as others.
