   Blue may look nice but headlights legally have to be white in colour in the UK. So if you get blue or purple ones it will likely only take time until the police notice them. They also become a problem MOT time. But saying that the H4 HID bulbs do not comply with British or European standard so are all illegal to use on the roads anyhow.

   get 6000k's. any higher and there too blue which not only looks a little chavvy it gets unwanted attention from the police.
   
   My pure white 6000k's:
