I want to change out my factory head lights for a more bluer color. What the max watts and volts for the lights? And what is your recommended color temperature?

12k headlights are pointless, no offense z32man. They will give off less light output than stock bulbs. Go with a 35watt 6k bulb or a 55watt 8k bulb. Apparently the 55watt will wash out some of the blue. Im personally running a 35watt 6k, looks nice and white with a hint of blue to it. Anything above 6k will limit the output of light. I think it's 4300k that gives the best ouput but is slightly yellower.
