    6000k vs 8000k

    So I have Fly working on my oem bi-xenon's(blacked out and clear cornered), he is adding his leds to them as well. I plan on adding charcoal lamin-x to the taillights. And don't worry, it will be lowered too. Possibly thinking of some black rims after that. I am just curious what you all think I should go with...6000k or 8000k bulbs? Any other suggestions to the car are appreciated.

    i liked the color of my 6k on my old audi so go for 6k.

    Definitely 6000K. Keep in mind that the higher temperature the light the poorer the quality of the spectrum for seeing at night. As a lighting engineer I can assure you that the lower temperature light produces a lot less glare for you as well as oncoming traffic, especially during inclement weather. Also, much better for depth of field.

    Sounds like I will be going with the 6000k, anyone have any other suggestions as far as what else I should start to plan to mod?

    LOL was waiting for somebody to say that, if you're more concerned about actual useable light at night and getting the most, 5K is the best. Otherwise between 6K and 8K, stick with 6K. I rather have as much light I can get at night when driving around in unlit areas.
