For all of you people bashing 8000ks, they are SO VERY MUCH brighter than my stock lights. yes they have some color. That's what I wanted. But they are already twice as bight as my stock ones so I don't need 4300ks. I am very happy with 8000ks.

So besides (8000k and +) which bulbs give a good bright light, not necessarily blue and wont have other people pissed at you for blinding them?
4300k is whiter... 6000k has a blueish/purple tint to it. if you really dont want color go with 4300k but they are they brightest

I was going to go with 6000k because I have a Santorin Blue A4 so I think the blue headlight tint would look pretty sweet.

This is true that 8000k HIDs are better than the stock halogens, but they are not even close to better HIDs such as 4300ks. Why would you sacrifice light output for a color? Waste of money IMO.

4300k or 6000k... its really a preference.. they are both going to be far better than stock halogen.

Agreed, and I'd even say, based on Florida rain (I lived just outside Panama City Beach for 6 years and I remember), I'd go 4300k. Since rain tends to wash out the light on the road, get the brightest you can, and that's them. 6000k is still very good (I love mine) but the 4300k is brighter - I notice a difference between my current set and the 4300k I had in my Z.

Go 6k. 8k is too much blue...enough to distract other drivers and receive unwanted attention from L.E.
