HID Kits, which colour temperature?

I'm about to order a HID headlight kit but I'm unsure with colour temp to go for. I was thinking 8000k but I've seen some cars fitted with HID lights which look very very blue and I'm more looking for the look of the stock BWM or merc lights (just off white). Anyone got HID lights and if so, what colour temp are they and how do you find them?

Ordered the 6000k, will report back once they have been installed.

I have philips vision plus and to be honest I didn't notice much of an improvment over the stock bulbs I had in + I like the look of the HID lights (what a poser).

Same goes for the RSAP bodykit

Not really, because the light beam is still being focused downwards. My dipped lights have 3 dip levels, the most dipped only puts the beam a few metres infront of the car, so if the HID kit is way too bright, I will just dip them a bit more.
