   honestly mate I have 6000k on mine and in shop windows etc the whole headlight looks blue! I personally think mine are too blue but I spose its personal preference.
   Imo 8000k is maximum otherwise they will look kack and youll probs get pulled!

    Only up close which wouldn't give a great picture, once the pictures are up from fast car they're should be some of me driving with my hids on..
    
    Edit: try "hids direct" site dude I'm sure they've got a chart of which K looks like!!, because they're the ones that state 4300k being oem..

    anyhint over 8k starts to look really purple iirc. 4.3k gives the brightest light, but style whores often get 8k ones.

    Yeah I got mine from Hids-Direct they are great quality. 6K is a good amount imo but any more and it will look far too blue tbh.
