get 6k its very bright white with a slight blue tint.
or if your really hooked on that "blue"
go for 8k
10k is very pretty. but the light output is pathetic.
(I have projectors, and i have 10k, 8k and 6k bulbs. so im speaking from some experience here)
the higher you go. the less you will see.

bc3tech, that does NOT look like a traditional 10K temp. I don't see any hint of blue. 10K is DARK blue.



First mod I did to the car. Those are 8K...

6 or 8K is where it's at. You go higher then that and it will be more of a hinderance as far as light output goes for night vision. They will look hot, but that will be about it.

put it this way the brightest HID is 4300 so the higher you go the more the light output decreases

No that would mean they're purple. The higher the temp. the more color it has. Your's are 4300K factory temp HID. They are pure white...

Yep because there's more color mixing in with the gases.
