yeah, i'd stay away from anything above 6000k. but to each his own. if you live in place where you know you'll get pulled over and want to deal with that hassle then go on ahead if it makes you happy with your car.

This is a pic with the factory bulbs, but the 12000K bulbs are the same color as the corner light and parking light that you see here.

moving to a 6000K bulb will be actually be about 10% less bright than an OEM bulb @ 4300K. Move to a 12000K bulb and you're looking at over 30% less lumens than oem.

park in front of a wall and take a pic of the wall. it will glow purple. they dont look purple as you look into them and the true color is near impossible to capture on camera. 12000k is purple for sure in my book.

Easily the best upgrade if you have an '05. Made a world of difference when I put mine in.

when I went from stock to 8000k, visability seemed to be decreased in heavy rain. I then went to 5000k, it was better. But like someone already said, the brightness (lumens) decreases as you move away from 4300k.
