12000k should be almost puple

See those r thru regular headlights does it change thru projectors my 8000k r still whiter than that image. I was wondering if they change thru the projectors because it's not wide open like regular headlights. His claim to be 12000k I put them in my self he got a set thru modexpress n they were white too.

I've seen plenty vehicles with projectors and blue colored output, so I doubt the projector lens would change the color output.
Try testing them before you install them, give them a few minutes to warm up and see what color you're getting before you put them into a projector.

8000k with only a hint of blue? That doesn't sound right to me. Mine are 5000k and there is an easily noticeable hint of blue. I would imagine 8000k would be very blue. 12000k should be straight purple. Might want to check and make sure the bulbs really are what they say they are.

6000k in my projectors and there is some blue, but it's still white for the most part. Mine like considerably more blue than most out there (like BMW, Mercedes, etc which come with 4300k).

What's a good brand that offers the colors they show? I did test them outside the car n the were white I figugred that stick thing that is blue might reflect inside a normal headlight cuz it's open. That's y I thought the projector housing was keeping it white. I noticed that on 4300k the ball in the middle of the bulb had a yellowish tint should the 8000k ones have blue there I'd should they be clear?

[chronoti]

that yellowish tint is salt!

yes halogen salts that the arc of current super heats in to plasma causing the light you see........ there is basically the sun going on in that little bubble.

you know i have no idea what colour it will be just that it will be a diffrent mixture of halogen salt

8000K should be blue through the projectors. Reason why you're seeing different colors throught projectors is because the projectors act as a prism to the light and when light passes through the projector, light gets scattered around to colors of the rainbow.

thats a good chart exactly how i would describe the colors

6000k white with tint of blue
8000k blue with tint of white
12000k dark blue with a tint of purple

your friend must have gotten the wrong kit or malfunctioning bulbs or wiring problems because it should definitely not be any white

[blkcamry94]

what kind of wiring problems could there be?

[Zviator]

He could be color blind too Or are you ?
