HID kelvins vary by company. Some companies have blue'er kelvins than others. Just be ready for some color change. Sometimes a lil.

they dont advertise them as 8k or 10k or anything their just "custom blue" go to www.3bspec.com and u should be able to order just the bulbs... as for the projectors... which ones do u have? i have the gen 1's and their h1 bulbs and the fogs are h11's let me know if u want more pics or anything..pm me so i see the message

I think imma go with Stage 2s suggestion. thats the blue im looking for !

I just called 3bspecialties.com and i got my hands on the lays pair. I spoke to Patrick and he was great. He gave them to me fpr 60 shipped eventhough on there site the Custom colors are 20 bucks extra. He even said that they should be here 2morrow! not that is great customer service.

Now does anyone knwo where i can get a better set of fog light housing so when i buy another set of Bulbs for the buttom they will look even better!
