7500k; 8000; and 10000k HID?

this vendor,sports import ltd, listed below has 7.5k, 8k and 10k color hid for sale. i usually see 6k and 7k for sale elsewhere. are there any validity to these hid replacement kits?

the 8k and 10k seem very atractive.

7K is about the brightest you can get, after that, the color drops off and starts to get really purple and you lose your illumination. At that point, you are just asking for the cops to pull you over. Sure they might be valid, but not the best idea unless you are a ricer or in a car show, but not for street use at all.

Yeah short and to the point...The higher the K rating, the less usable light output. Once you pass 6K you are losing quite a bit light....7k is still fine though.
