[B]yo jesangc... you should check out the color of bulb before you buy, dont go and waste 200-300 dollars on shit bulbs.... i have 8000k...(which gives a aqua crystal blue hue color)....and some guy on this forum has philips 6000k (which i think gives a very light purple bright white color).

 

The higher the color temp, the lower the actual light output. 4300K has the highest light output. high color != high light output.

[B]Can someone confirm how many car manufacturers use PIAA HID bulbs?

 

Keep the OEM bulbs in the S2000 now.
Dont bother changing them, it would be rice if you did

[B]6000K D2S bulbs is what's called a Barney upgrade.

 

since u swapped out perfectly fine stock 4300K s2000 bulbs, the ricer in you was surely smitten by the 6000k barney effect

there's a good reason why 4100-4300K was chosen by them brilliant (pun intended) engineers who got paid to research and develop the HID bulb.

there ain't nothing natural about the barney.

upgrade? hardly.

alot of people with stock bulbs talk shit about aftermarket HIDs,
everybody with aftermarket HIDs never go back to stock bulbs.....
hmmm.......
i dont care if its 12000k, if its real HID, it looks HID, NOT BARNEY, barney is a purple dinosour you fool....

btw, alot of strangers told me my s2000 have the best HID's after i upgraded mine.... but its usually at a stoplight so i dont try to explain that its not oem......

what i do miss is the visibility, i admit stock is best, not brightest but best visibility, and the changing color scheme....with upgraded HIDs your pretty much the same color instead of the bright yellow-white-blue-purple-green effect

vapor, since you had your bulbs for a while now, did you notice a change in color? you know how oem bulbs look blue when your car is brand new then over time, changes to bright white/yellow as the bulbs burn in....

scientifically, that might be the case, but when you actually observe the color with your eyes, it tends to follow what DavidKang is saying.
