Acutally Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes Benz use around 4300K bulbs.

The pictures are from my retrofit progress.

Here's my 4300K bulbs in my E46 bi-xenon projector.

ya'lls light output looks sooooo good compared to mine (mine is extremely blotchy), i tried adjusting them but i don't think that it worked. could this possibly be because i have silverstars in there or...?

Look at my post from above.
Or check out my retrofit progress thread in the AfterMarket Section for Gen1 Solara.
I did a mini comparison last night.

yeah, all factory HID's use 4300K. The color output you see is from the projector, the shroud, the lens, etc...

But even 4300k is less yellow than stock. Its a great choice, and I have been very happy.
