Remember, the higher the kelvin rating the less light output on the road. I'd rather have better visibility with 6000 then the color of the 8000.

6000k ftw! also keep in mind that not all HID kits look the same, one brand may look different than another even though they're both the same K.

i went with DDm 6000K but they look pure white, someone else agreed with me on that. i wish that mine had a bit of blue but i didn't want to sacrifice any more light output, it took a lot of convincing for me to go down from 4300k to 6000k already

I have XenTec 6000Ks that I got off ebay. they have plenty of light output but still have some blue. I'm glad I didn't go with 8000Ks, it would've been too much blue and not as much light output as i wanted

6000k is good. I got too much police attention with the 8000k

I switched from 8000s to 6000s , i like the 6s better because you can see way better than the 8s. The 8s are pretty much just color
