Default jdm headlight HID color....

my friends tell me my lights are bright white instead of blue ever since i got jdm's.....is this from the RHD bulb angle or does the blue just fade away after a while?

the blue is not our hid, as it is 4300k.... the blue/purple cast is because of the housing..... it wouldn't "fade away"... but our lights do look white straight on... I only see them blue going over bumps, etc.......

You use your OEM HID setup in the JDM headlamp assembly. Therefore its the same color. The only difference is the part number and the clear lens. The "blue" your referring to actually fades away in time.

It's the alignment. If you can get the lights to go back to factory specs it should look as blue. My recommendation is to get a friend who haven't messed with his lights, have him aim the lights at a wall, and level your lights the same as him (opposite beam pattern ofcourse). It should work.
