k=kelvin
that that number represents is when something burns at 8000k that means the color it gives off(object buring at 8000kelvin) is the same color as the light
our point is that you will never get the color you think your gonna get.....

Around 6000K on older (pre-2005 or so) and now it seems more like 8000K. No car company is going to put in anything higher than that because the light output goes down pretty far after 6000K. 4300K is brightest.
And besides getting HID for a "purple" look is by far one of teh worst reasons unless you do shows or something. I got mine to seen better, having an amazing bluish white color is simplya bonus on the side.
