I haven't, but a couple of buddies of mine got tickets for them. One of them just paid the fine or did the fix it and put em back, can't remember.....lol the other switched to 6K without any issues since
Honestly, I don't think it looks good. But legally, it's a hit or miss. Some cops might let it slide, as quite a few people run higher Kelvin HIDs. But really, I wouldn't want to give cops another reason to pull me over. Too much hassle.
Personally I'm running 5000k (white with a hint of blue), gives off a very cool OEM BMW look like my old E46.
The paper test is pretty simple, which some cops may use. All they need is to put a white sheet of paper in front of your headlight. If the light shown comming through the paper is white, you are fine - if blue, ticket.
For 5000K it should be fine (I run Philips Ultinon 6000K and there is no hint of other colors at all). The things mainly is that the majority/primary color shown from the light is white, you are fine. It is when it is the other way around.

Interesting, thanks for explaining what it is. I'm gonna try this when I'm really bored.
Like others stated, it's going to be a matter of where you live. Some states/counties are known for being hard-fast to the laws. Since you're in Cali, I'd be very worried personally.
) than to end up with a ticket for something like this.
