The kelvin rating is the colour, there is no set colour temperature but you aren't allowed blue on the front of your car, 8k is getting a bit too blue and asking to be pulled, especially since they are illegal apart from that.

The headlights have to be the projector style ones, they must be self levelling, and have headlight washer jets!
