Lightbulb POLL: 6000k or 8000k ???

Ok fellas...taking a poll on either the 6000k or 8000k HID's. I have a 300c with projectors and searching for the right hid. I haven't seen too much pics of night illumination for the 8000k. I just want your opinions because most of you were in the same situation before you bought yours. Gratis!

I've got 6000K because IMO 8000K is too blue and could get you in trouble with the law. Just my $.02

Highly recommend either 5k or 6k. 8k is too blue for me. I think the OEM HIDs on the Heritage Edition are 5k, and I put 6k on the Magnum. The Mag's HIDs have just a twinge of blue.

I've had 8000's on mine, and they looked great. If your looking for good looks and brightness, I suggest you try Xenondepots 6500K. You won't be dissapointed. I have them in my fogs and lowbeams and love them. Check them out:

8000K, it is pretty blue, but it does get even more blue with lets say 10k. My 300's black, so I think it sets it off real good with my 8k's, I love them. Its all personal preferance.
