OEM HID Questions

Hello all,

This is gonna be a simple and stupid question, but I just want to re-assure.

1. Is the stock HID in 4300k temperature?
2. Is your stock HID a little bit yellower than angel eye?
3. Is the angel eye LED around 6000k temperature?
4. If I were to upgrade to aftermarket HID low beam, what temperature would best match the angel eye? 6000k?

Not sure if it's my eye or something, but I swear some BMW models like the X3 and X5 especially (newer gen) have more of a whiter/bluer tone to it than my HID. Mine seems very 4300k and while I see some F30's look a bit between 4300 to 6000k. Maybe it's just the angle because depending on where I look at it, it can look a bit blue. I also realize that the rearview mirror makes everything greener and bluer, which may also make it why.

Looking forward to hearing your insights. Thanks!
