Just so when people see them on the road they aren't exactly BMW lights but a little blue-er
For comparison, those LEDs on the left are running at 4300K. In person you can see a subtle difference, but nothing big.And to crums, NLJeeping and dirtyd are right. 10K is like a blacklight and 4300K are around the suns brightness at noon. Might want to do a bit more reasearch before you buy. I've personally driven next to an Escalade with 10K and mine overpowered them like a spotlight to a candle

if you read it it says a doctor, hes actually an eye doctor, and has done numerous tests on the light the eye is more sensitive to and the light that the eye is more "comfortable" in, and these 10k's are not close to the black light at all, the 12k's are closest but are still way far from a black light, and even if the 6k's are closer to sunlight that is worse, have you ever tryed looking outside in the winter when theres snow and you just came from a dark place? same concept here, its easier to see with a light that is when driving in the dark its going to be easier to see with a light that is still just as bright but is closer to dark, that makes it easier for the eye to adjust to the the light intensity, therefor the 10k's are a better light, but it all depends on the company making them, theres also different opinions on what is a better light, or what is brighter, but to me i like the fact that these will not only impact driving at night, but is also easier to drive with. thats just my opinion, so feel free to think otherwise,

I went with the 55W bi-xenon kit. and mine out shine just about any factory BMW/merc/audi/acura HIDs. even esclades. my 5Ks are so much brighter than 8K and up. yes, I have parked my truck next to another similar height truck w/ 10Ks and mine shined farther and brighter than his did from sitting in the truck POV. I do highly recomend HIDs over stock halogens, and Im sure HID fogs would be freakin sweet!!! cant wait to get them.

well i am getting the 10k's wether you guys like my opinion or not, and if you understood what im trying to say you would probly still think wat you think because you like your 5k's or whatever, and you also have to realize im having those on projectors and that will concentrate the light so that it will be plenty bright,
