HIDs?

Hey sup you guys! Im at a tuffy decision right now. Im looking to buy these HiD bulbs online but i can't decide on either 6000k or 8000k! I love the 8k because of the blueness but people says i will loose visability! How much of a loss do i take compared to 6k? If you guys have pics that would be great also LoL. Will i have problems blinding people on the roads?

Also isn't audie, bmw, and mercedes like 6k... be kinda rare to see 8k? Last question which do you guys perfer!

There is a point to where you can be "too high" in the spectrum. After a while your eye's cannot see some things as well in the upper band of light as a lower band. 6k is a good medium range to where you can still absorb all the light with your eye's, making it actually easier to see certain things.

Dude, all factory HIds from all companies are 4100k. By law. 8k will be very blue and not as effective at 6k for visibility.

I moved to our lighting forum, all your answers are here.
