UPDATE : Just Installed 8000K D1S HID Bulbs on my E93 M3!!!
Two weeks ago I made a post about installing my 6500k D1S bulbs, the look was nice but not so different from the stock 4300k. So I went back to www.xenondepot.com and I purchased 2 8000k D1S - in my opinion, they look so a lot better then the 6500s!
Here are a few pics....what do you guys think? the first few pics were taken while the swap was being done, the left headlight(DRIVE SIDE) is the 6500k, and the right headlight (PASSNEGER SIDE) is the new 8000k. (**Not the best pics, they were taken with my BlackBerry Bold**)

Are you sure that in the first few pics, the right side is the 8000k? It looks like the left is the 8000k and the right is the 6500k. 8000k is an ice blue color.

I want to do this mod too but with the bad quality pics it's hard to tell. Can you repost pics (when you get a chance) with something a little more clear?

That looks good pretty hot! I like it a lot better than stock. Did you do your angel eyes too, or are they stock?
I want to do the angle eyes in an HID kit and saw that Camaross305 has designed one but I want to wait to see what the reliability on that kit is. Lookin' good Slammed, lookin' good. Keep up the good mods!

Put 8000k in my AMG, you can certainetly pick it out of a crowd on cars coming down the Hwy. Does shorten the lighting wave length for night driving though!
PS. Have noticed how the signage on the road side now shows up as alot brighter?

6k is already pretty blue. i dont know why you want blue-er. 8k is too much IMO. and they are killing the light output. OEM is de best! 4300k!!

I hate the look, but it works well in the winter. I miss my 20's Quote:
I don't like OEM , once they warm up - they look white. just bright white! Quote:
I can hook you up maybe with a new set if you like.

6000K is already a 20% reduction in light output. I don't know what the lumen output for the 8000k is but I'm sure you lost a lot of light output by going with that.
