12k is absolutely worthless. You start to lose vision after 10k.

10K is just a really bright blue. Not the most visible light, but it's a good combination of function and appearance.

Bingo. You may not care, but you're putting lives at risk when you do stupid stuff like blind other drivers on the road.

I'm looking into HIDs as well. Still haven't decided on what kit I want. Probally a Vision 8k kit most likely.

30,000K is not green. Not true 30,000K that is. Pretty much anything above 10,000K should be bluish or purple if truly that high of a color temperature. Anything that's green or pink is actually showing a lower color temp than advertised, just with a different wavelength.

It's a pretty involved topic, but here's an explanation of the Kelvin color temperature:

And here is a scale showing color temperature (the blackbody line is what I'm referring to):

You can clearly see that the scale doesn't even come close to touching visible green light.
