go unique and get purple or green ... or jdm yellow LOL

4300 is stock color, 5000k is closest white u get, and 6000k will have hint of blue.

I usually go 5000k, cuz i dont like blue with white.

I have 5k, my bro 6k and a friend with 78k. 5k will let you see EVERYTHING, 6k has a nice blue tint and 8k is just not too usable.
