Check this out. XenonDepot is pretty good. 6000k is bluish white and the 8000k is more purplish. You'll get more light output from the 6000k. That is the highest I recommmend going.

6k is sky bluish and 8k is darker blue. 10k is when it starts getting purple.

I'm pretty sure it's always there. Most other bulbs you will find around 150 a piece. Those are Philips Ultiton bulbs. OEM. I don't think you'll find a better deal on the net for the quality of bulbs that you are buying.

you lose more lumens as you go up in the temp range.

Why do you think oem uses 4300k? 4300k produces the most amount of lumens.

I did not say I had the same lumens...I only stated that the 8000K did not give me any problems with seeing at night.

6K would be the best IMO

You got the look and you don't lose too much output like it was mentioned before..
