8k is going to be blue... The higher you go in terms of color temperature, the less actual useable light output you get.

8K is also horrible in the rain, I thought my headlights were off when I had 8Ks for my low beams and fogs

OP, if you want a hint of blue in your headlights go with 6K. Perfect combo of color and light output IMO

I run 6500K low beams and 5000k fogs.. the 6500 is nice and white with a blue tinge.. 5000k is pure white.. if your looking to stay close to OEM go with 5000k's

best looking - 6k (imo)
best output - 4300k
best balance - 5000k

I'm also thinking about doing the HID conversion so I'm thinking about 4300K or 5000K. I like a hyper-white light so I'm leaning towards 5000K

I want to avoid any hints of blue since it may attract unwanted attention from the cops. Especially doing converting to HID from halogen is already a no-no.

As long as you don't go 10k + you should be fine.

I ran 8Ks for lows and fogs for 2 years with no issues. When the light starts to look very blue (no hints of blue or white and blue, but legit BLUE) then you will attract a lot of unwanted attention

i went with 5000k low beams (pure white)
and 3000k fogs (pure yellow)
no regrets

I run 6k in both, and I like it.......good visibility, still comes out on the "white" side of white/blue

You can always go with our HID kit with Philips bulbs. The bulbs are 4300k, however they color shift to 4700k within approximately 100 hours
