kaixen are popular at about 100$ per pair

stock color was 4300k,
5000 is more blue looking and a good choice
6000 is more blue with less white on the ground- reducing usefullness
8000 is for show use only- you cant see squat with them and they look purple to cops

<-------- (MY Avatar is 6k Lows and Fogs) 6K has a lil blueish to them when looking at the headlight, but are white when you see them on the road. 6K reflects the road signs and markers pretty good from far. 6K is prolly the highest anyone should go.

Get the stock bulbs. 6000 and 8000 are not as bright. I bought mine (Philips) on ebay for $87.00
