Yup

They are mint :D

If anyone gets a set, stick between 4800k-8000k. Anything higher than 8000 looks a bit chav, and doesn't produce that much useable light.
Mine are 6000s

800k is the highest you want really, i run them and they have a really clean blue light.
And you can get them much cheaper!

pinky purple sounds cool but i might go for 8k from what adam said about usable light but standard is like a candle anyway

Have a word, mine are 8k and are fantastic. Give out a great light and more light than 6k( abit in a corsa)

Adam, pics of the beam pattern?

Diane-shop are the ones people usually get, usually via ebay.au depending on whichever has the best currency conversion.

I got my dipped beam (6000K) from a UK seller, paid a lot for them but they are spot on. Perfect white light, excellent pattern, warm up very quick. Also came with english instructions and battery harness.

Main beam (also 6000K) are diane-shop ebay cheapos, no battery harness, take longer to warm up, crap instructions and emit a very purple light, almost like 8000K.

I wouldn't trust the rotating jobbies, hence why I'm sticking with my Irmscher panel for HIDs at some point.

Benn, the bluer the light, the darker the output. I would say the 6000K's you're comparing to are poop then as a decent 6000K WILL be brighter than a decent 8000K.
