Well, it's up to you, but i'd match them, emits more light in my opinion. I had 3k's and really didn't like them that much.

Hm I'd probably match them with the headlights. And FYI stock temperature is 4300K, not 5000K.

I would go with the 5000k so they would match your headlight set...

It's a matter of personal preference and driving conditions. 3000K is much better in inclement weather and provides a nice contrast. But if you want a clean look and more light output, then match your lows (4300K-5000K depending on how old your low beam D2R's are)

I'm with the 3000k in lexus capsule crowd (the crowd of one). I find the contrast way more useful...especially when it's raining/foggy/snowing.
