That's way too blue for me. I'll look into getting a slim for 5000k for now I guess. You got the slim ballast with no harness I'm assuming?

Do you have pics of the output and do they use a realistic color scale? (I.E. 4300 should be halogen color, 5000k pure white, 6000k white with a hint of blue)
4300 is not even close to halogen color. Halogen is 3000 if I remember correctly.

I've never seen the stock halogen headlights, but when I put HIDs in my fog lights I left one side with the stock h11 bulb and the other side had a HID bulb 4300k (same as stock HID headlights). I didn't think the color difference would be so dramatic, but it is.

Yeah, slim ballast no harness. Bolted the passenger side to the frame next to the radiator, and the driver one I had to 3M outdoor tape to the frame just under the quarter panel.

Ridiculous. Even though my information shows they're based in California.
