MMmmm...Houston we have a problem:

Xenon gas is used in HID lights such as the Litronics.

Xenon gas is also used to market bulbs with a similar look (Kelvin rating) that you can purchase at a high performance auto accessory store (Super Autobacs, Stanton CA).

What your looking for is a Kelvin rating similar to HID lighting (Litronics) from a bulb which is entirely possible, in fact I had some that gave me the same HID look as Litronics.

Here's the problem: With bulbs that have a high Kelvin rating, they burn too hot for the casing and will cause burn spots and begin to melt the housing over time, such as mine did. I ended up forking over the $1099 from Brandywine Porsche in PA and wasting about $100 on the bulbs that burnt my lenses.

Hope this helps.
