I can't see the pics right now since I'm at work. Are the 10,000s really purple? From what I understand of the color scheme, the lower the number the more "useable" light. Granted, the HIDs at every color range are powerful and 10 million times better than stock.

- 4300k - closest to stock color
- 5000k - pure white
- 8000k - bluish
-10000k - starting to get purple
- anything above 10000 - purple

6000k is bluish and 8000k is blue, 10k is deep blue and I think anything around 15000k is purple/pink.

You'll be sorry in foul, dark weather. Otherwise, you'll be happy to know that oncoming drivers will want to take a baseball bat to you and your car. Kudos!

yeah you really start to lose visibility with the higher heat ranges. And oncoming drivers with be flashing you all the time now too cause the driving lights arent really at the right level for HIDS like that
