As far as I know, you can tell by the way they turn on.

6000k or 8000k won't be any brighter... That is the color temperature of the light output, not the brightness.

i used the wrong term. i know it's not "brighter" when you increase kelvin rating. I meant to say it has a more BLUE-ish tint than stock.

mine kind of blink rapidly for like .05 seconds right before turning on. Does this sound like HID to you??

I wouldn't "upgrade" to 8000k hids because the lu* output would be dismal. The beam patter wouldn't project as well and it would be more of a bright flood light.
