Guess it just depends on the county/cop.
yeah, that's with anything, one cop will let you slide and another will be an ass about it.
Also, to what osiriskidd said, 6000k and 3000-3500k are going to be the brightest.
thats why i said 6000, cuz people still want the blue in 8000 but you still have decent visibility.

That's pretty much the case/answer.
4300k is generally what manufacturers produce since it's the closest Kelvin Rating to daylight reproduction.
Just take the time to due a retrofit with OEM projectors and you'll be set.
95% of people will just throw an aftermarket kit on their car most will shoot glare all over the road blinding oncoming traffic since their headlight housings are reflected halogen applications.
I did a retrofit 3 years ago and it was on of the best mods i've done!
Just be as consistent as possible.

Leisa and S. 4 Life NM?
i believe TECHNICALLY anything 5000k over is illegal and some in high 4k's but cops dont usually pull over for that stupid @$@$@$@$. any color over/under 4300k is wasting power. 4300k is the brightest possible which is why bmw and mercedes use it. 3000k on reg lights would get you pulled over easy because 3000k's are used for fog lights on the bottom while ur lows are on. also if u go to google 4300k has a straight line when car is next to a wall when anything over it like 5000k+ shines everywhere which are the kind that blind u when they are comming from the other way. 4300ks will only shine up to a normal cars hood in a perfect straight line when usual 6000k's are out of control and shine as high as stop lights even when on low beams which is why they are illegal. any higher than 4300k creates glare for oncomers. go to this website explains the 4100k vs the other ones. http://www.intellexual.net/hid.html
so then basically what u guys are saying is stick with something in the range of 3000-4500k?....next question...is this something i can install myself? i have no clue as to how it (H.I.D.) works....is it jus a bulb u get or or a whole kit that needs to be professionally installed?
