I have 8000k on my car and LOVE THEM. Color is great and light output is incredible when compared to my stock halogens. They put out like 3x the lumens of a halogen bulb. Believe me, you notice the difference. I will try to dig up a pic to put here....

i say they are white with a slight tent of purple. The road is sooo much clearer and the lights just seem to pick up deer on the side of the road sooner so im able to stop sooner

And where ever i get them from, the temp ranged from like 4300K, 6000K, 8000K to 10000K right?
Now what about heat, will that come into a factor at all? will it melt anything?
What is the difference between 6000K and 8000K i want a nice crisp white light with some blue to it.
Do i want LEDs or HIDs for lights?
What aobut the fogs, how do i achieve that same look?????? will the 8000K match my silverstars that i have in my fogs right now??
anymore help would be great

I just thought I'd point out an obvious flaw in this poll. The actaul color is not completely dependant on the temperature of the bulb. Different bulb manufacturers use different gasses and materials.
For instance, the 4300K Philips bulb is more blue/white while the same temp bulb from Osram is more yellowish/white. So not all 8000K, etc... bulbs are going to have the same amount of color to them. Just keep that in mind.
