HID 6000k vs 8000k

I have an 08 tc should I go for the 6000k or 8000k lights? I like 8000k a bit more but I dont know if that will get me pulled over by cops alot.

I just installed my 6000k HIDs today, they look amazing. I'd say stick to 5 or 6 cause once you go past 6, the more blue you get and the less you will see

6000k is white with a hint of blue. 8000k is blue with a slight hint of purple. with projectors, i'd go with 5000k or 6000k. 8000k is too blue

example: 8000k, 8000k, 6000k
