6000K is probably the highest you want to go in Kelvin color temperature if you want a white light color. It will light up with a blue color initially, but once the bulb warms up it will emit a bright white light. PM me if you want to see pics of my car (not the IS 350, I'm still waiting to get it ) with the 6000K kit.

Otherwise, you can go with a lower K kit, like a 4300K, and you should be fine. Let me know if you have any questions.
