The housing can also affect the actual color output.
I'm not familiar with this unless you mean the cutoff color. Do you mean the actual beam color?

The Hella ballasts for the Audi A6 are choice. They have the longer 14" leads and the 80* angled plug just right for the TA's.

8k is purplish.
What were you expecting?

4100K-4300k has the highest lumems. As the color temperature increases (the #K), the color gets bluer then purpler and the lumens decreases. Lumens is the measure if the actual light output.

They are not good for high beams unless you get a bi-xenon projector. You have to remember they take a little time to warm up.

You could do a halogen projector in the high beam you get that even look you want. I had thought about putting HID's in the high beam but if I go to flash someone its gonna be no use (since it needs to warm up to really get seen) and going to be bad for the bulb going on and off like that.
