I think 8500k bulbs are a waste. For one, they arent much brighter than halogen bulbs and they are too blue. Every car that comes stock with xenons run 4100k bulbs. I have that temp bulbs in my car and the illumination is plenty bright and I have the "cool blue" cutoff that everyone likes.

See its not the bulb per se that makes that nice color, its the optics used. Generally the E-code lights have the most colorfull cutoff. Not only that but in europe their standards for lighting in general are much stricter than in the usa, so the equipment (optics, lenses, hardware..ect) are made to higher tolerances.

One question. How come in the pics above the "horizontal" part of the light shining on the wall is uneven. Its tilted slightly, the left side is lower than the right. Mine are the same way. On my projectors, there arent any adjustments for turning the housing to level that part off. You can adjust the overall height and I think the distance (left to right) horizontally.
