R34 Xenons - Questions

[R34mac]

Hey guys,

I was lucky enough to score a set of unmolested R34 xenon's and was interested to get a few answers from people. My R34 had it's xenon's removed and replaced during compliance with the proper halogen headlight bodies & bulbs.

The xenon lights I got have the stock 4500k bulbs and upon fitting them up, I wasn't that impressed with the brightness of them (after seeing people raving about them so often on the forums here). I polished them up, but they're still almost on par (or just slightly better) than my old halogen lights. Maybe it's the people who have xenon headlight bodies which have the xenon bulbs converted to halogen, who notice the biggest difference when swapping back to proper xenon bulbs?

Anyway, I was also curious to know - if anyone out there has been defected for having r34 xenons, what temperature bulbs were you running? Did you have higher K bulbs giving off a more bluish light that may have attracted the cops? It's just after looking at my lights, I can't imagine the police caring about it / let along getting a defect for them because there are plenty of other cars out there on the road running brighter xenon's than these.

The improvement for me was marginal and the only difference really, is my lights are now white
