Anything above 4300K is a waste really. 4300k has the most amount of useful light in the spectrum. Anything above that just gets worse, especially the higher you go.

If you want to step up to a blueish color in halogen instead of the cost of HID's try Rabrigs, they are not cheap but I've found them to be the closest you'll get to HID's and they are only 55 watt. They're about $70.00 bucks a pair and come with a 1 year warranty.

I can't seem to find it but someone here wrote a manual how you can adjust your stock HID to get that blueish. Essentialy, what he did was adjust it to point higher at a certain angle and found that at a certain distance and beyond, it gets blueish.

Haven't tried it myself so I don't know if its true or not.

Those are not HID bulb replacements though, they are just halogen replacements. He was looking to replace his HID bulbs.

No, I think he's saying he has HIDs but wants blue-ish high beam bulbs, which are halogen.

Sorry no pics. sold car bout a year ago, there was absolutely no yellow tint of any kind in them. They are the best halogen bulb I've ever used though, they're not painted high wattage wire melting knockoffs, trust me they work but thats why they are $70/$80 dollar range not $20 a pair. I bought these at Carboy in Houston TX.
