i voted 6000k. 6000k looks good enough, and at 8000k you're losing a lot of output compared to 4300k or 6000k. even with 6000k's i would get some fogs to help out.

8000k looks blue, a solid state blue which is low in output (lumens) and will tire your eyes out at night real quick.

Got mine from an ebay store.

Also look into the new GE 6000k bulbs. I just got a set for my TL hi/fog retro.

6000k.
I got mine from E-Bay too, but one of them stopped working yesterday. Now I got to go find a new once. Going to have to go back to stock for now. What is stock anyway? Is it 4300k or 5000k?
