Just food for thought.
I disagree. My old 6000K's we by far the brightest I've ever had (and they were in my factory Yukon fog light housings. They were brighter than the 4300K's I had in my projectors), and I've gone from 3000K all the way up to 7050K.

Now, you may have scientific proof to back up your claim, but I'm just speaking from experience. I'll never use anything other than 6000K again. They're so sexy, so perfect!

Wishing I went with the 6000k for sure. A little too much for me lol... I gotta say even these 8000k are an improvement over my old halogens though. Lights needed major adjustment too wish I took a pic
