Wouldn't the visibility be like zero? **** I wouldn't even do 10k as the lumins are drastically reduced.

wouldnt harm your headlights, unless the 20k bulbs are really cheap and explode in housing or something like that (more quality based)

but 20k is an extreme color, almost like a black light. You wont have hardly any visible light on the road, and probably get hassled by cops .
