I always thought that the 6000K bulbs were the ones with the blue tint.

how's the output on the 6k bulbs? brighter/dimmer than stock (and by this, i mean the output on the road not the way it "looks"). I've read that the rating is for the color not the output.

from the thread we had about this a while back, 6000k was the highest you should go to still have a light output equal to stock. higher than that, 8-12K, was more color than light output. ive been thinkin about getting 6000K for a while, but does anyone have any pics of the 6000K output?

The higher the Kelvin temperature, the less output. Stock is around 4100-4300k for a reason, because they have the best output.

I switched to 6000k bulbs from umnitza. If I were you I wouldn't go any higher than that. Otherwise you will have trouble seeing the road well while driving at night.
