my cousin got the 6500k for his IS350 from xenondepot and it looks really good...but the only thing we didnt like about it was that the temp of the bulb makes the projector have a purple tint. Im waiting for him to get the 5000k to see how it looks then i'll order mine. i'd go with the lower temp.

Those are Apexcone 6000Ks I installed a few weeks ago.

They look real blue in the video, especially in the beginning, but they get whiter after they're warmed up.

Get 12,000K. Hehe... J/K.

You know, anything more than 6000K will make your eyes bleed at night. On a rainy night, forget it.

I would recommend 4300K from XenonDepot.

since you got a blue tint with the halo's...DONT GET THE 6500K. my cousin has LEDs in the highbeam/drl (ill be getting them too) and it has a lil blue tint to it too. the 6500k is purple next to the LED. thats why hes getting the 5000k.

Well, I mean if you want just for the looks, then go for it. But for visibility, don't count on it.

I did get the 43 but it was too close to OEM. Put in the 5k right now. Looks better. I agree during rain you can't see much. The light bounce right off the road. So can only see what is directly reflected during rain. O well, I have my fog light and if needed, high beam to tell every1 to watch out for me.
