just updated the xenon lamps in the car to 8000k but they don't seem as bright as normal and think the alignment is a bit off as it doesn't seem to throw light as far any ideas its the ds2 bulb

Indeed, 8k withh reduce power output. Around 4.5k is about the best for illumination

I have 6000k in mine and they are fantastic for light output, a bright white light as apposed to blueish haze.
