I have 5200k D2S Bulbs, they have a light blue. My best guess would be about 8000k. 10k turns purple

please please don't get them... the point of headlights are to see... not to "look cool" if they're a deep blue your visibility goes down the tubes and your distraction levels skyrocket

WTF do you want deep blue for? To be effective at lighting don't go any higher than 10K and that's pushing it.

Yeah, a show car as is never driven. Past 10K and it's useless for driving.

Judging by that chart I wouldn't go over 5K if you want the best performance. But if you want the deep blue then you can go around 8- 10K

little off topic, I hope these are atleast going in a projector housing reguardless of color. I was infront of a RSX with deep blue as your saying in the stock housings and the glare was unbareable even with my tint and aiming mirrors in different spots. The color alone was distracting
