    Personally I have 8k but cops over here in PR dont care, OEM BMW's etc. use 4300k so you can get 6k and you should have much trouble.

    if you scroll down you can see when my 6k look like. keep in mind they are 55w, not 35w they are brighter, same color tho.. if you want bluer, go for the 8k

    if ur going with the 35w get 6k if ur going 55w get 8k they are the same color but the 55w is so much brighter it dulls out the blue. i personally got the 55w 8k for 60 buck cuz mine are H4 hi lo but theyd be 45 for the 9006 and i think ud like the light output better

    Whats the general difference between 35W and 55W? is the color temperature the same?? its just 55W are brighter?? Also aren't 55W get wash out with time?

    8000k of the 55w are the same color as the 6000k of the 35w as the brightness offsets it.

    the world specs have no glare at all. i put on my highs as 1 low beam went out and i didnt even get flashed once but they are very bright so i dont believe the HIDs will pose an issue
