8000k vs. 10000k (HID)
i know ive seen the pictures but i dont think pictures give the best perspective
so what im getting to is i want lights to where when u are heading towards me they are blue and when i get close about to pass they are still blue
so iis that 8k or 10k?
early bump

10k is very blue, and you will not really gain any visability over stock, so it will mostly be show.
Just remember, if you buy them & dont like them you can buy different temp. bulbs for ~$45

i don't think bmw owners bought their car for the 'cool' looking blue effect. truth is, you will never see as good at night as they do unless you retro fit projects on your cobalt. what are you planning on putting this HID kit in anyway? stock housing or projector? if stock housing, then you will not get that cool blue effect. you'll just get people flashing their highs at you cuz you're blinding them on the road.

most likely either 4300 or 6000

stock hid's are usually like 4300 or something like that.
and the reason why it went from blue to white, is because his are projected like they should be, and you were seeing the different parts of the spectrum.

yeah you also need to be aware that the projector/cutoff shield will also change that regardless of what color temp you have.
the beamers all usually have 4300
but they still have the blue because of the refraction over the cutoff shield.

It all depends on what angle you're looking at the light from.
20k?!?!??!??! what color do those appear to be?! do they even put off much light?!
