8000k will be plenty bright enough..... thats ususally what OE H.I.Ds are, anything rated higher than that start to look blue'r as the light beam scatters more.

yes, the 8000k will have a blue/purple tint.....but not as much as the others.
search HID on ebay and one of the adds shows a light colour chart.

10k may be too much as you may get pulled by the police id stick to around 8k.

if its too blue you will get unwanted attention from the police

10000k is road legal i think

people keep telling me it will attract the police but jaguars and porsches have 12 to 15k as factory standard,

anyone know the law on this?
