Everyone is correct. Go with 6000K....anything over 7000K is just asking to get pulled over.

The picture has the 7k Hid on the drivers side and the passenger side has the regular Halogen. The light is not green but has a slight tint of blue from far away. The camera did not do a good job of catching the real color. I'll try to take a better pic of the lights today.....
