I have 6000k in my 2008 and they do have a blueish color to them. Its not overly obnoxious, so if you want to go with not so much of a blue tint, I would say stay below that, but above 3000k

4300k - keep it to OEM spec or 5000k if you don't like the yellow.

With the 5000k Morimotos you'll lose a bit of brightness compared to OEM 4300k bulbs, with the Osrams you will have equal (maybe even greater) brightness. Just a matter of how much you're willing to spend and if you're willing to sacrifice a little brightness.

Color temp is preferential. What looks nice to one person may look ricey to another.

The request was for blue/white/stock color, NOT blue/purple.
