8000K HID headlamps
Has anyone tried 8000K D1s low beam bulbs for your TT? I am not a big fan of any temperature higher than 6000k, but I am curious what color would match my Hoen DLEDs. I think these are slightly higher than 6000K - perhaps 7000K???

Incidentally, not all 6000K mean the color is the same. After going through multiple brands, bulbs, etc. I found some 6000Ks to shine like 8000K, some to shine more like 4300K. Ultimately, the Phillips works well.

You guys are amazing - thank you for the replies. I saw D1S from Sylvania application site??? Can someone please confrim fitment for 2008?
bbywu - you are right on about different color per each manufacturer - I had hacked Ultinon a number of years ago and I thought it looked more close to low 5000K vs 6000K. I got some cheaper 6000K from another place and I could have sworn it looked more like 8000K...
Do Ultinon's have enough blue to match with new generation of Hoen DLEDs?
Thanks

bob - sorry anothe question but are the Ultinons noticeably bluer than stock 4300K even after warm up? Thanks!
The bulbs I bought start off with a purple blue hue until they are warmed up, then are a very bright white. I wish I could photograph it for you. They are about a 90% match...not perfect, but the closest match I could find after going through at least 4 different bulb manufacturers.
