hey Phil, so you got 10000k high beam, right?
how's the visibility when your high beam is on? better than stock yellow ones?
I've been wanting to upgrade my high beams...

depending what brand you get, 8000k can be good or bad
mobile HID 8000k has little purple color on it,,so it will attract cops
some other,,like the ones that I have is clear,white,,
visibility is great and looks nice
but I know most people go for 6000k to be safe

Guys, don't forget that 4300-5000K gives you the most output on the road. NOT 8k , 10k, 6k, etc.
maybe not the best looking, but you'll see the most using those.

6000k and 8000k are more for looks IMO and I've gone through different settings and the ones that I have has the best visibility out of other 8000k
and incase you don't know, brand matters

I know people have been running the cheap ebay bulbs for years and it is still running strong. Sometimes it is just hit or miss kind of thing.

I agree with smokyis350 and seoulis250, I am one of those people that are around cops all the time in Alameda-Oakland and I have not gotten pulled over for my 8000k or my 15%tint and no front license plate. It's quite rare for a cop to mess with a IS over in Norcal if you ask me. Visibility with 8000k is fine to me, the darker the roads..the better visibility to me
