First time it is dark out and raining and you try driving you will want to pull over and put stock bulbs back in........you cannot see 20 feet in front of car with 10000k bulbs....8000k are not any better.........I have 6000k and even then in rain it sucks.......5000k is about perfect.
now if you are just gonna use the bulbs for shows and such then you are good,but other than that 5-6000k work the best.

8k is perfect if you have projectors! i disagree if you dont have projectors tho. and 10k is way to bright. it will just want to get you pulled over. 5k is not perfect its getting you more lumens and better light output but just waisting your money. lol[/quote]
That makes no sense whatsoever, you are wasting money for more light output? That is what HIDs are for. All of you with projectors are wasting your money buying 8k and 10k because it will make just as much color with 4300k to 5000k in the projectors because I has to do with the lense. I have blue color in mine but have a lot better light output then you.

10K is not bright projectors or not projectors, it may produce glare but still provides poor visibility.. its more on color not visible light.. 8K and 10k will never be the same w/ 4300K or 5000k wether you have projectors or not.. its not about the lens its about the light spectrum it belongs
