i vote for the 6000K. If you dont care about light output and how much light is emmited, get the 8000k.

8000K looks pretty darn blue. 6000K is great. my personal fav is the 5500ish area. it's awsome.

It depends on where you are, but I'd be paranoid driving around California with the 8000k ones.

Just my two cents.

i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but phillips does not make HID kits for aftermarket use and they are actually cracking down on websites that say that they sell phillips kits. So you actually ended up buying a cheap asian kit, that has a phillips sticker on it.
