The ones you are seeing are aftermarket. 4300 (stock) produces the best light/visibility. Just search online for HID kits. Anything after 6000k is just for looks and not drivability.

OEM buld is 4300 light output, giving the best white color. If you need blue or purple, getting a higher output like 5000, 6000, 8000, will yield the output in blue or purple.

From reading, this is what I've learned, if you're going with superbright headlights 6000K+, get yellow fogs for illumination.

You want a kit that is 4300k if you want it to match.

eb@y has some, you'll want the 9006 conversion, not many of them are 4300k though.

I initially went with the 6000K blue lights because the looked cool, but i had a hard time with the color at night. So i went back to the 4300's
