I don't know why purple would be even considered... but then again people tend to say that about my blue 8000k. Most people will tell you 6000K, which is a good color, but I think my 8000k looks killer. My car isn't black or a new edge so I wont post pics. but good luck in your decision.

Just remember that the higher you go number wise, the less distance the light is thrown.
I would go with a 6k or 8k. 6k is usually what they put in as OEM lights in the high end vehicles.

I have 8000k fogs and headlights. I think they look amazing. You really can't go wrong with either 6000k or 8000k imo

It was a tough decision but i went with 6. Im never satisified with anything i do. I always think i should have gone with the 8 but if it had been the other way around id still be saying the same thing. Im happy with the 6 though
