4300 will still give you that white look when you look at the truck, but the output will be white with a light tinge of yellow.
We convinced Kmac to go 4500k I'm pretty confident we can convince you haha.

 

so if i buy 4500K what will they be after burn in and what will they be as they age. i dont want them ever looking yellow or brownish tinted.

 

HID capsules always kelvin-upshift as they age.

Reckon ye dint spend much time in the 'University'

 

Yep they will probably start at 4000K and move their way up to 4500K

 

That was what i was asking. I didnt know if they started at 4500K and went to 5000K or started at 4500K and went to 5000K.
About how long with the XB35 bulbs last in a D2S projector with 50W ballast?

 

Aboot 2/3 as long as the same bulb on a 35w ballast. HID bulb life is typically ~1,000-2,000 hours. Degradation is slow over time, but is evident nonetheless. Still has 'usable' output @ end-of-life - better than halogens, at any rate - but it is worthwhile to change them before that occurs to get the best performance possible out of yer expensive HID projector system A standard wear/maintenance item, in point of fact.

Again - bulb life is discussed in detail in the University ( among other listed sources). As is almost everything you've asked to-date. Are you, for some reason, opposed to reading this information?

And there is this tidbit from the XB35 product description:

"Long Life: The Austrian-sourced Plansee electrodes help keep the bulbs running brighter for longer. Compared to a Philips bulb for example, that will lose 14% of it's luminosity after 200 hours of use, the XB35's will lose just 17% - which is unheard of for an aftermarket bulb."

Please let me know, and I'll stop wasting yer time (and mine) posting relevant links that I'd assumed you'd leverage and apparently are not.... Hopefully I'm wrong, but that is indeed the impression I am getting.

Sorry - Ol' Bubber has a very low tolerance for spoon-feeding... character flaw... well-known 'round hyur...
