Stock headlamp temperature

What is the stock g37 coupe headlights temperature? I see different products about 8000k and 10000k? Then I read somewhere about them being 22000k? Which is correct?

^ yup 4300k. In fact ALL OEM HID headlights are 4300k. Its is the temp with the highest light output. Headlights with higher temp sacrifice output for color.

They do exist, but they produce a light so dark it absorbs other lights.

22000K would probably be IR and invisible. It'd be like having two big *** remote controls on the front of your car.

That is, unless you have an IR front-facing camera, a la Merc S class.

A blue spectrum light with a temperature of more than 21.000 Kelvin radiates actinic blue light used in reef aquariums for corals.
