good point man, but i still wanted to see if maybe 8000k would look better in pics and not give off as much of a greenish glow as the 6000k. i'm thisclose to getting a kit from that freddie character, should i just go w/ 6000?

Just keep in mind that the 8000K kit gives on a blue tint. So if you got some hard a$$ po-po's in your area you'll get a nice ticket...

The 6000k is bluer than the 4200k and the 8000k looks more purplish than blue. Either way, the actual light output is diminished. 8000k's HID's will look brighter but in reality it is not. The major manufacturers of true quality HID bulbs Phillps, Sylvania, Hella don't make anything higher than 6000K bulbs. The issued stock 4200K HID provide 3200 lumens and the 6000K's provide 2400 lumens. A 4200K and 8000K light of the same intensity does not register the same to the eye, 4200K(which approximates daylight), is the sweetspot to the human eye. For function rather than the "coolness factor" the stock 4200k are the best as they put out more light then the 6000k and 8000k bulbs. In my respectable opinion, I wouldn't go over the 6000k bulbs.
