The 7500k's are blue and the 8500k's are a light silver blue with a blue cap.

Check out that third pic- I'm thinking more 8500k's, see that irridescence?

That 3rd picture does make it look more 8500k...

Thanks gents. I guess Matrix nailed it, 7500ks. Is it possible for a 7500k GP Thunder bulb to have that irridenscent coating? Eh, we'll go with 7500
