    IMO, 5000k has a bluish hint to it in open reflectors like that. It's too blue for me if I turn off the 3000k fogs.

    lol, my first HID kit was 8000k. I thought it was cool. So I ordered another. They sent 5000k (but I was too noob to realize this). But I then loved the white color better, and I've used 5000k ever since.

    But since you have reflectors, and you want a pure white look, I'd even go with 4300k.

    That 300 is a fail in my book. Someone posted a V6 300 with big ass rims, I say go hemi or go home. I have 6000K in my headlights, and it looks about that blue, maybe a bit more.

    When i first started with HID's i had 10k then moved up to 12k LOL, then i wanted purple and got like 25-30k or something like that. But then went to pure white and loved it but with the new car i meant to order pure white which from the manufacturer was (6k pure white/oem white) and it turned on slightly blue so i was kinda pissed. This time im gonna stop at a shop that actually lets you see the bulbs before you buy and what they look like turned on to make sure they are pure white instead of ordering online(even though its cheaper) and risking getting blue or purple ones again.

    ^^^ online HID kit sellers are FULL of crap bro. The lights you got are exactly the 6000k color, like Mack said. 6000k has never been and never will be close to OEM color. But that's cool, you can go look at bulbs in person and buy the color you like, bring yo sunglasses

    haha, I remember you had those hyundai projectors in your head lights with 12k
