You would be hard pressed to tell the difference.

well its cause i just want some with not too much blue in them just a little

5000K with be almost pure white, the human eye will detect some very very small hue of blue in them. 6000K you will def be able to notice the hue of blue.

I installed a kit for another MM owner a few weeks ago and one bulb was 5000K and the other 6000K just to show him the difference and it was basically night and day between the two.

Here is a random google pic but it's basically just like that difference.

Get 6k if you want just a small small amount of blue.

NOOOOOOOO... Not another 6k install! 4300k provides the cleanest light and the most visability. It's your ride, do what you want.

Actually 3000k gives you the most light... but most are not a fan of yellow lights.

3000k yellow light - most light output

5000k is whitest light.

6000k is white with a very slight blue.

The 6000k will look "night-n-day" compared to the stock bulbs.

I had 6000K and went to 5000K, could see a lot more and was much happier with the 5000K.

I have 5K and almost wish I had 4300 at times. There is a tint of light blue to my 5000.

I have 4300k. It is white. No hint of blue ever.

I should have been more specific. 3000k is illegal for headlight use, otherwise that's waht I'd have. So 4300k is the best LEGAL choice.

go 8K!!!!!!!!!
