Have you ever tried Morimoto xenon bulbs? any idea on performance?
and what is the kelvin used in AUdi and BMW? they doesn't look warm white or have bluish tints?

I haven't used Morimots.

Since ages, Audis and BMW have used 4100k. Best possible HID output by science.
Recently with the advent of Dynamic lighting and LED matrix lighting, they seem to have moved to 5000~5700k. Very white with no tints at all.

naturally they're not seated properly.
a simple oversight could be that the installer forgot to put on restrainer clips or put them wrong way.

did you get then professionally installed?

Please park your vehicle about 10ft~15 FT from a neat wall with lights turned on and post it here.

As bhvm pointed out its not seated correctly.
Even one of friends had brought recently a bulb set from Ebay costing about 5k(I think its nearly 4k kelvin rating), he also told the bulb is not seating properly .

the cutoffs are looking neat.
the alignment is bit high as beam has reached the windshield of white car (will glare the driver ). do lower it a bit so the beam reaches till bonnet Max.

Hello bhvm,
I was searching for HID kit for my Etios and found your thread very informative. As my car has no projector setup, will I get the desired results after installing HID.
Thank You
Regards

Hey Bhvm stumbled on this thread late.

Which brand & model number bulbs your using?
They seem well built although they seem to be a bit lacking on the salts.

If i remember well, Eitios Uses a H4 Bulb setup which is not optimized for HID kit. Beam will not be focused properly and will send glare to oncomers.

Otherwise, its better to Install OEM Fog lamps and stuff them with HID kit.

Hello Prads,
There's no brand and model as such. The name is 'Uglare'.
I think salts depends on kelvin with 6000k Bulbs having darker salts than 4300k.
