Welcome!

Anything from 5000-6000 is going to give you optimal visibility. Anything above that reduces light on the road significantly.

I have 5000K and I belive it is the best balance of light output and color. The light is a diamond white. I installed 6000K in my gf's car because she wanted a slight blue hue. I really think 5000K looks sooo much better than 6000K.

Just thought it was funny, both of the Mazda3s on that slideshow aren't Mazda3s... They are Mazda Protege5s...

On my last car (a Mazda6) I had Apexcone 55 watt 4500k hids and they where bright as crap, but they were pure white with the tiniest hint of yellow, not blue. This time around, I will probably be going with the Apexcone 35 watt 6000k hids because this car doesn't have projectors (If I can get my hands on a spare set of headlights, I am going to custom make some dual projectors
