There are a bunch of guys running HIDs in their factory housings. 6000K would be a nice kit to get. It has a white light with a little tint of blue. I got mine from a non sponsor and I like them.

I got them in my car. It is a 10000K kit, so it has a nice blue tint (looks great on artic white). Picture was with a camera phone so not good resolution. It is a little unfocused compared to a projector lens, but if you spend the time adjusting it will look good and not be dangerous.
