    i have 55 watt 8000K on my bike, but they are bright enough they wash out to look closer to 6000K. I use 4300K in the STi and the retrofit on her Accord.
    Who knows?

    ^actually it's not as bad as one would think. I actually see really well during night, i didn't cheap out on the HID kit. True output is not near what a 4300k will put.

    If you planning on getting one of those $79-99 kits, then stick with 4-6k, anything above the output simply sux.

    3000k for my fogs for visibility in the rain ftw!! Having a tinted windshield doesn't help the 4300's much

    3k ideal for fogs.......

    Once u go above 6k in your headlights it is gonna be more bling than function...especially in heavy rain at night.....it will suck.

    I rock 12k headlights(projectors)

    3k foglights
