don't even touch those. i would only get philips and they only go to 6000k. anything higher than that is too blue and imho ricey. and the light output on the street is very bad too

Anything over 6000k has to have a blue coating over the bulb -- reducing the light output by filtering all colors except that blue. Would you want your HID's that yous pent over 300-400+ for to look exactly like cheap $20 blue lights?

A lot of people don't understand that 4100k, 6000k, and 8500k are not rating the BRIGHTNESS but the color temperature. 8500k would like baby blue -- ricey.
