Hey guys just wanna do a vote on what HID light is better... I'm deciding on whether to get the 6000k or 8000K... Just need a few suggestions on which one you guys choose if you were in my shoes.. Planning to replace my OEM 4300K bulbs... Thank You

i vote 6000K i think its good balance of visible light and blue color. 8000K will lose some useable light. The 8000K is nice too with a bright more blueish color. Really is your preference of what color you want.

Anything above 6k and you really start to lose visibility. Plus, if you go blue, you'll look like a Civic ricer coming down the road. If you want the blue/purple look, modify your cutoff on your projector bowls. You'll maintain the white visible light, and have the nice blue/purple flicker you see with higher quality projos.

If you have HID from the factory, then all you have to do is buy a different temperature bulb. Just make sure you buy the write model bulb as there are basically 2 types.
