    ^I'm running the 6000k wich are not as bright as most because of the bluish tint to it. I would most deff go with the Phillips because I've read that they are a bit brighter.

    Do the Philips bulbs come in all the different levels? or is it just one bulb.. if that makes sense.

    They only come in 4300k which I think most BMWs come with stock. I think this was the hardest part for me because I didn't know what output color I wanted. I wish I would of gone more towards the white just because the blue is a bit dimmer but I'm still happy with mine.

    10000K is visibly purple, not white, so you dont have 10,000K most likely... 6000 are stock infiniti, (i had an 09 fx35, came stock 6000, i went to 8000, hint more blue) 10,000 is definitely blue purple...12,000K is PURPLE... 3000K is yellow, like the JDM honda fog light or Lexus IS300fog color... 4300K is almost the stock color of regular car headlights... bright, and clean light output, no blotchy, but NOT blue or Yellow, just white with hint of yellow, 5000K are white, 6000 are white with a tiny hint of blue.

    hope that helps, was a quick reply
