F56 Xenon Color/Temperature

Hey dudes,

Trying to figure what color/temp the OEM LED headlights are on the F56/F55 models. Anyone knows?

Thanks!
G

I can't speak for the Xenons, but the LEDs seem to be approximately 5000k. The cutoff is a bit off-color compared to the rest of the beam, and seems closer to 6000k though.

Yes I would say they are brighter than the older factory Xenons that are ~5000K. After seeing them in person they have to be around 5500K close to 6000K, around the cutoff they get really blue and a hair purple.
