D2R.

going with anything above the OEM kelvin rating (4100k) is not an upgrade in terms of performance, its a downgrade. The only thing you are changing is *appearance*.

I plan on changing up to 6000k bulbs myself. Good bulbs, philips or sylvania, will run you about $250.

That's what I've been running for almost 2 yrs! They are Phillips Ultinons (German -Spec). And they are quite sweet!!!

I have the Philips Ultinons. Great bulb if you ask me. They don't put out as much light as stock but they make up for it in looks. From about a mile down the road they look like nothing but a deep blue purple coming at you. No white/yellow at all. Up close its more of a white/purple hue. Get your bulbs from Autolamps-online.com They have the true Ultinons not knock offs. For more of a blue color go with the Sylvanias they sell.

$250 for a set? If so, please LMK where I've seen $300/pr on one site.
