I beleive that most OEM Xenons are 4500-5000k ...

6000k is a bit blue , i went for 6000k 's in mine and wish i hadn't , when one fails i'll replace them with 5000k 's

Looks like a lot of glare coming from those lights.

I have upgraded to HID - non OEM conversion that I had used previously in my w163 - now gone into a w203 2001. Warning icons only come on occasionally, there is no obvious flickering?

I do hope that this is not another car on the road with blinding xenons fitted to halogen reflectors that are not designed for hids at all, not to mention self-levelling and automatic headlamp cleaning systems.

One of the aforementioned overtook me on the motorway the other night and the glare was horrific. Trees on both sides of the motorway were illuminated. If you want HIDs, do it properly please.

I thought they also had to have auto levelling. That's not a cheap DIY kit.
