Get the 6000k

Most factory HID's come in 4300 I think. If you get the 6000k's, they will look better than almost all factory HID's. But if you go over 6000k, you start to get the rice look because they start getting a heavy blue tint to the light.

But if you like a blue light then go for it...

The lower the bulb number the brighter, far as I know. The 4300k's are brighter than the 6000k's. The 6000k's are brighter than the 8000k's, and so on.

I guess you sacrifice color of the light for actual brightness.

I personaly dont think 8k or 10k looks rice...Look at the bmws and MB. in your town they have a purple look to them. But I have heard that if you go more than I think 6k you start losing light on the road

Yeah, when you look at them oncoming, or standing from outside the car, they have a blue tint. But from inside the car, they show up as pure hyper white.

I would take pics but it's pointless. You cant take a pic of your headlights because it never looks right in the pic...
