^ 10000K is not brighter, the color is deeper which makes your eyes think its brighter but its actually not. Also depends on the brand, I know some brand at 10000K the color is purple-ish already, some still in the blue. If you just like to be dif. 8000K I would say and will not look like those Rice-out rides. With me, I'd get the 5-6000K which gets some tint and also does not loose much of the visibilities.

6K is the way to go. I had 6K in both he reflector and project HID and it's the perfect balance of color and function. I had 8K in the old HID and it looked really nice. There is a functionality lost in the amount of light it paint on the ground. When it's wet, forget about it.

You said that there was a functionality lost in the amount of light it painted on the ground. Is it the 6000k or the 8000k

Anything more than 6000k you lose light visibility, as it gets too blue and starts not looking like daylight.

Not the best camara but it gets the job done. Looks better in person.

If you notice the white fence it looks like daytime in front of the car

It looks like "daylight" because you are lighting up way too much area, not what a properly design setup should do. Hence the glare. The fence pic makes it obvious about the glare

Keep in mind this is right after installation with no adjustment to the lights. They look bad *** and increase my sight ten fold. Of course if they were adjusted properly they wouldnt be aimed that high.

6K in the fogs? I would hate to be in front of you...God.

Anyway, I think 6k is a good color choice. Just the right amount of blue.

Anything else looks cheap. On our cars at least.
