5800K Bulbs Installed

Bought these bulbs from dxhid.com last week and finally had a little bit of time to install them today before class. From inside the car, the light looks really blue, although you can't really tell from the pictures. Hopefully it'll burn whiter as time goes on.

It's a little better. I get a little bit of that night time blur too and these bulbs helped.

5000K is whiter and has better night time visibility. 5500K will be slightly whiter than the OP's as well but may still have a slightly bluish tine.

Is this what 6000 really looks like? I think this is a good comparison. I might go with in between and do 5500k

They are the EXeS bulbs from dxhid.com. From inside the car it looks blue, but when standing outside and looking at the light its white. Could it be the windshield?
