Is it just me or...?
I have Xenons, and compared to almost every other car esp. Acura, VW, and Lexus our bulbs are almost white compared to their bluish glow. May be a dumb question but anyway to change this or is there a logical reason for it>?? Thanks

info
Audi usually uses 4300k xenon capsules. This produces a white color with a tint of blue from angles. If you want a more blue color you will need a bulb more in the 6000+ range. They aren't cheap bulbs though. Xenon capsules will run you at least $100 a pair (maybe cheaper on ebay). You do pay a price for having more blue bulbs. They higher the color range the less light output you will get from the bulb. ~4300k is optimal for lightput.

Is there a shop in So.Cal where I can get an M3 rear lip and Oettinger grill? Both? At a good price?
