    Not illegal. I rock them on everything I own. Shit or just get the badass bulbs from Japan and you can't tell the difference in looks.

    They are illegal.

    Badass bulbs from Japan? Can't tell the difference?

    I have 8000k and I can see much better than my halogen lights. No matter what anyone says, any k of HID lights put out way more lumens than halogen lights. So get what you want, and the light output does get worse, but not by too much. I'm about to switch it up to 10000k

    Super bright blue looks so mean...I might do it later today...hhmmmm
    It actually starts to decrease output quite a bit as you get into the higher colors and it starts to look like 'ricer bulb' replacements. 6k has a nice touch of violet to it and still good output. I wouldn't go past that.

    Started at 10k you are looking at eye fatigue on long night drives.
