Chris yours are obviously different to all the other peeps running 6000K's here, myself included . Unless you have projector lenses which do affect the bulbs light differently and you generally run a lower bulb to get the desired effects.

That explains the blue then but 6000k are white , it's your lenses focusing the light and making it look more blue. You should use 4300K bulbs to get the desired effect
