Lots of jiborish out there on bulb tech. I recently had a halogen bulb go out on the wifes car and considering "upgrading"(?) to Xenon gas filled, not true metal halide lamps. I would just like to get a whiter, higher performance light from it since I have to buy a pair anyway. About all that is on egay is 5000K which to me looks more like a blue tint on the glass and probably not true Xenon gas. I am curious if there is any advantage here?

If so, what color temp would be acceptable? It looks like our HID Infiniti FX45 has 10,000K if the Inet data is correct. I do not want insanely blue light, just safer light.

Fastline, This part of the form is meant for headlamps the kind of light that you wear on your head for hands free lighting. It looks like you are looking for information on a car headlights. I'm not sure ware you would find that info.
