6000k or 8000k?

hey guys i know theres been a million threads on this already but im not 100% sure if my question has been answered

as far as i know 8000k is a little ricey, more $$

what im trying to do is get my headlight as close as possible in color to the white LED clearance/corner bulbs i got from superbrightleds.com

id like it to match as close as possible, but from looking at pics i cant really get a great indication of what would match better

any help is appreciated

thanks

8,000K if you are looking for a big difference and a nice touch. A lot of people however say it reduced your visibility at night. The 8,000K looks awesome though.

if you want to match the headlights with your WHITE leds, then 6000k would be your best bet. 8000k is more blue than white.

I got PIAA 6600K and love the look totally!!!

They are very white with a hint of blue. I could not ask for a better color of light... They are not rice at all and still have more of a blue look than most on the road... I like the look MUCH more than on my wifes 06 BMW 330i's projectors.

It was well worth the extra $$ to go with the PIAA's in my book!!

this is where I got them from....

No problem Klumzyee

P.S. make sure you get the D2S bulbs...

P.S.S. Do you have any pics of your new "G"... I LOVED your old black "G" with the gold SF Challenges (R.I.P.)!!! that helped cement the decision for me to go with my Gold Challenges
