I wouldn't go any higher than 6000k. 6000k gives a nice white light w/ a mild blue tint to on-coming traffic w/o the major light lost that 8000k+ gives. I found my McCulloch 6000k bulbs on E-bay $150. The seller had a 100% positive feedback but this was over a year ago.

I have 6000k on other car but i want little bit more blue tint. I want like 6500k or 7000k since they don't make those thinking to try 8000k.
I also think its overkill but oh well...
