Default Anyone know what Kelvin the OEM HID off the 2001 JDM STi is?

Are these 4000k? Because they are yellowish.
Or are they the Philips 4300k?

I need this info from a good source...
I'm thinking of picking up Philips 4300k (OEM for all luxury cars) but I need to make sure I don't have them already in my black chrome projectors.

I was told they were the the 4300's. The color looks about right.

I doubt your going to see much of a difference between 4300 and 4000.

All OEM HIDs use 4100-4300K bulbs.

Thanks. Then I believe I have the 4100k. They're a lot yellower than the white 4300k I see on the road. I'm definitely going for the 6000k now.

I doubt you can see the difference between 4100 and 4300K. They are essentially interchangeable. And as I told you earlier, anything higher will not give you more light.
