More importantly they'll be too dim, not enough lumens.

I'm thinking that most of the pro 8k-10k responses are from young guys or ricers. No one thinks your car looks good or cool when your lights are blue or purple. Actually, other then your fellow friends, most people think you have destroyed the class and sporty look of the car.

Because most manufacturers vary by some degree, I'm going to say 6000K and lower, 5000k preferably. 6000k should be a very crisp white with a tinge of blue. 5000k should be a pure white.

In addition to my first comment, anything higher REALLY reduces the amount of usable light. Proven, scientific, period.

my thoughts exactly. i never understood why people want blue lights? do they not want to see at night? i always chuckle when I see blue or purple lights and the driver is sitting with his gangster lean thinking he's so cool.
