The thing to remember is that the higher in K # you go, the more the visible light output drops. So while you will look pimp with your purple lights (though most police won't agree with you) your headlights will be poor at doing their job.
If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...

6k ftw if you must have color in it. 10 k is just for douches, honestly.
