Like I said, for white you want about 5500K. 6000K will give you a touch of blue. Anything higher than that and you get more and more obnoxious and actually lose usable light.

Only 3000k bulbs are coated, all other bulbs acheive their color strictly by their chemical composition.

Thanks for allthe feedback and help. Like I said I was browsing the retro solutions website and I'm not sure which digital HID kit to get. If bright white is 6000k than that's what I want. Which kit do you recommend?

Thank you RETRO SOLUTIONS. I got the kit very vast and it was an easy install for my mechanic. If you had an ebay store you would get excellent feedback from me. I will recommend the HID kit to anyone I can...

Thank you everyone else for your input and advice as well....
