Just swapped out my expensively priced but crappy quality 8000k low and fog kits with some Xenon's in a 6000k for a brighter, more pure white look. I know a lot of people who have used this Xenon kit with much success for years.

"Pure white look" would be 5000K.

Yes, but coming from an 8000, a 6000k would be brighter and have "more of" a pure white look. There will still be a "hint" of blue in them for sure.

I've emailed him 3 times, and now called and left 2 voicemails since Oct. 1st...hiding from his 1-year warranty. Bought in March, less than 3,000 miles on the car this summer, and have a dead ballast. Lesson learned, at least they were cheap. Gonna look into these DDM's.
