Default Stock HID bulbs vs 6000k HID bulbs

Has anyone switched to 6000k bulbs? Is it worth it? And does anyone have a picture of a 6k s2k next to a stock s2k?

Also, would you have to change out the ballast to, or would it work with the stock ballast? thanks in advance.

why do you want to change them? bling or better vision? the stocks will give you the best vision....the 6000k look I'm running the 10,000K



6000k would be a good cross for bling and purpose

I actually wanted it for a lil bling bling. nothing crazy. i heard the 6000k is close to stock as far as lighting up the road. but it has a blue tint to the light. and that is what i am really after.

stock bulbs which are about 4000-4500k will result in the best output of light. The higher you go the less output .. If you want a bluish color, i have to say 5000k - 5400k

Will-

oh, and I believe the bulb is just plug and play...dont need to change the ballast.
