Plus, it drains the eye's while driving for an extended period of time!!!

12k

4k

It looks like there was a better cutoff on the bottom of the lights than the top.

Pink is cool if you're a girl but if you're a dude with pink headlight = NOT cool.

But mines are 3000K Pink. I get way better output then 6000K and 8000K. Plus they look sick on the road at night.

I am sticking with the factory bulbs. Reports say that our factory bulbs are easier for the eyes (especially for a long drive) than higher temperature bulbs. Pink or green will stand out for sure but cops like to pull people over for being standing out, so watch out.

Well Im happy with the 3000K Pink Bulbs. They get much better lumens than the 6000K and 8000K bulbs, and just as good as stock. Besides you see everyone with white or blue color. That just gets boring. With the pink color driving at night is like sex, because everything is in pink. Its just amazing. Not only that my car is unique because I am not like everyone else with the white, and blue color.

I hear where you are coming from. It sounds novel and cool but I think it would just get old after awhile. Plus, it stands out TOO much. I like my 8k HIDs and bright yellow fog lamps. It has a nice contrast. I need to post pics of my car at night since I got all my stuff done to it. I seriously think it gives the image of a female driver when you roll out with that look on your car. I will pass on it. Hell, you may change your mind later anyway.

i dunno how you're getting pink from 3000k bulbs cuz 3000k=yellow. yours looks more on the purple side which is about 12000k. refer to the diagram below:
