4000-5000k for most usable light
6000k for the pure white light look (this is what i run)
8000k for blue tinted light
10000k for blue purple light but much reduced usable light

Make sure there isn't any bylaws in place where you live that fines you for having bulbs above a certain colour temperature.

Where I live they an officer can give you a ticket for running to blue a blub as it is very hard on the eyes of oncoming traffic.

Here is a thread where I went from 8000k to 5000k bulbs

and if you get anything more than 6000k, make sure you can still have visibility when it rains. From what I have heard visibility is bad at night when it rains.......

I like the look of the blue tinted ones, kind of a cool touch exterior wise

go with 4300k to 6000k at the most. 4300k or so has the best visible light. i have noticed that it is difficult to see at night when it rains with my 4300k. i couldn't imagine how bad it would be with 6000k+ when it rains. i too thought that i wanted a higher K bulb but realized it would be less beneficial to me in inclimate weather. Bottom line, is that i have learned that Audi uses 4300k HID's for a reason....

too be honest my stock xenons (4300k) get dominated by aftermarket HID's and newer xenons (i.e. Acura RL, new Audi's etc..)

Personally I think I'd rock 6000k low beams with 3000k fogs...
