that's why to each of their own! I just personally love the brightness on the road as opposed to the look. Then again the 5000K i think does a fine job with making the light blue enough.

i hated my slim ballasts
i bought the fatty ones
they are easier to mount in a bumper than dealing with the slim ballast and the extra box with wires

The slim ballasts are fully electronic, they are much better than the standard ones.

I got mine from the seller below. They are 5000K and I like them better than the 6000K I had before.

5000K has a slight blue tint yet they light up the road better.

Yes they do, the projectors make a big difference on how much light shines on the road. Plus the 5000K's are a lot brighter too.

I notice alittle blue in the 5Ks. But not really alot. When they first turn on though, they are pure blue, but they go clear white as they warm up.

I think the blue HID's look kind of rice anyways. When I see them on other cars I think to myself, that doesn't look good. Besides factory HID's are 4300K, but they look blue or purple from a distance because they are in projectors.
