Need some help from the HID Gurus...
Sorry to bump an old thread but in need of some help.
Recently, broke one of my stock HID bulbs and decided might as well upgrade to 6000k. I didn't want some cheap stuff so I looked at Philips 6000k bulbs. I did some research to prevent purchasing a pair of the many fake Philips bulbs out there. Anyway, I purchased a pair off ebay:

I got them. Confirmed they were as described and installed them, only to find that they looked (IMO) pretty much the same color as the stock 4300k just a bit brighter. I expected something likr "crystal" white or even blue-ish like you see on newer BMWs or like Andrizzles in the first page. But no. I had purchased a cheap pair of $15 6000Ks before and got the same result but I figured it was just the quality.
Did i get scammed or am I just expecting too much? Or am I just stupid?
Any thoughts?
