8k capsules!? (they're not bulbs ftw)

You see in ultraviolet spectrum? At 8k you are decreasing YOUR visibility by about 1/3 and increasing annoyance from the other side of the road 2x. Please don't. Bad enough that you want to stick blue bulbs into a part of the car that works better with 2k yellow (fog).
