I hear how 8000K result in eye fatigue after long drives. My 4300K are nice, I want to go 6000K but am worried about eye fatigue or other negative effects of this higher K....will 6000K be harmful and cause fatigue after long drives? Are they okay like the stocks?

Thanks,
Jasbmo

I have 6000k now and it's not too bad. I just bought some 5000k for my retrofit. Those are some awesome bulbs. The color is good and the output is good. I think it's a perfect balance if you were wanting stock or 6000k. If light output is your ultimate goal then go with stock. If you want some more color don't go any higher than 6000k. If you want a good compromise then go with 5000k.
