nahh, a properly made (hard to find) 6000k - 8000k is still better than halogen, but eye fatigue will be the major issue.

personally i think 5000-6000k is the perfect balance of color and output

i did what SK did and got some cheap blue "hyper white" bulbs in there.

Tinted windshield

I use them for the deer around here. Without my highs, I'd be making alot of deer jerky.

I installed some Silverstars in my LS recently. I didn't think they were a great deal brighter, but I did notice that they had better coverage and seemed to have a greater distance to the beam. Definitely a worthwhile little upgrade, especially since I work for an auto-parts store.
