Sorry, don't have any pics. But I have the bi-xenon kit from visionbulbs, in 6000k. Absolutely love it. The kit came with 4500k bulbs and they were a little too green for my taste. The 6000k bulbs are crisp. A ton brighter than the Silverstars I had in prior.

Wow those 8k looks good. I was debating whether to get 6k or 8k and I'm leaning more to 8k by looking at your pics. Quick question, is the color of the light too blue when driving at night?

Too Blue? No...Its the perfect amount of blue...

You wont be dissapointed, i promise you that...

They are not BLUE...they are more of a crystal colour...and it really makes everything brighten up...all street signs, reflectors, other cars, everything...

IMO stick to around 5-6k's. Its a super white, outputs the most light and keeps teh cops off your back.

8000k's and higher are ricey in my opinion. You are getting a purple hue in exchange for a reduced light output.
