Howcome they come out so blue? You think its because of the OEM projectors?
4300k is like pure white.

I'm just curious.

are you talking about how they look from the front?

HID bulbs start out around 4300k temp rating, after about 200-300 hours, they do a color shift from 4300k to roughly 5000k in color temp, which will give you a slightly bluer color, but if your reffering to them being blue front the front of the car while looking at it, than yes that has to do with the projector. Your seeing the color of the cut off line when your seeing your projector turn blue.
