have u seen 8000k in person??? i dont get why ppl say this.. i dont see ANY hint of purple in my 8000k. to me its white but a slight shade of blue.

this is a very good example of what 8000k looks like in real life.

Hey looky, that's my fog light! haha 8000k is not as bad as everyone thinks. It doesn't strain the eyes and yes I do have fun driving in the rain with them (someone said it, forgot who). Here are couple pix with my 8000k fogs.

This is at warm-up


and this is when it's fully warmed up (no blue whatsoever)

mine are 8000K and I can see just fine, still waaay brighter than halogen.
I would never get 4300K since it still looks a bit white/yellow to me
