Yeah, I have 8000 on my Subie and I live it. Its not really a deep blue as you can see, its kinda like a Diamond White mixed with Diamond blue. You must get projectors though, other wise the lights are just goona be a blur kinda of, no direction at all.

I have Audi A8 projectors and some Hella 4200 bulbs. They look mostly white but they get a nice crisp blue to them at the right angles.

i have 6000 in mine... its very white with a hint of blue...

me personally though i like 4300 then i like 12000 i like the purple for some reason

vusually wise 4300 puts out the most light output... the higher k you go the less visiblity there is

go stock, and upgrade your headlights or retro fit some projectors, the flicker at the cutoff will give you all those colors you have listed, and at the same time since you have OEM 4300k you will also have the most light.

win win situation, you get the color, and get the most output.
