5000k is bright white...6000k has a hint of blue. Go for the 5000k

I have 8000k and love them. It's bright white with a hint of blue. Why change them and not have a considerably noticeable difference? Go 8000k!

I'm thinking of changing my stock ones purely for performance/functionality. I drive a canyon road to get to work and it's dark. I've seen a few people who've hit dear (yes there are dear in Orange County). I'm scared of those f-er's lol.

Thanks for that info ^^, I confirms what I've read (that 5k is the most light).

Now that I know what range to get, are there any cars that come factory with 5K's that will last long like OEM that I can use? I've seen that Sylvania commercial with that guy changing the lights on his daughters car. They claim you get a wider (more light on the sides which is good for dear spotting) and further down the road. Anyone know what kelvin those are or can reccoment another good brand? On non-HID cars I've used PIAA, that all the experience I have with bulbs.

I agree! Plus with past HID's I have done in other cars I have liked the 8k the best 6k looks to much like stock IMO..... 10K is to purple, maybe if it was a chic's car!
