Default HID's (Ballasts) whats your opinion?

Whats up everyone? I just bought HID ballasts from DDM tuning to replace old ballasts that came with the car when i bought it. The HID ballast kit is a 35 watt 6000k set up, advertised as being the most popular. I was unsure what the rating was on the old ballast as i never put them in. So i used the light chart on DDM's website to guess what color light would be good and figured 35 watts to be the norm. In my opinion, these seem a little too bright for others driving. If you have HID (ballasts) kits what is your set up? Does anyone have the same kit and what do you think? Just curious, so any opinion is good. Thanks for your comments.

p.s. was thinking of getting 8000k, the next level up, to make the light more blue and maybe less intense. Do you think this would help?

Most projector low beam HID lights, when adjusted properly,
will not blind oncomming traffic. If yours are reflector, they
might throw light all over the place. If your getting flashed,
try lowering and moving to the right your lights. This will
probably affect the high beams. Good luck. 6000K should
be good. 8000K will become purple.
