It's definately worth it! Whenever I drive my wifes Tahoe(SUV) it feels like the lights aren't even on. I actually find myself checking to see if they are on. However, I had 6K bulbs in my Lex, and they lit up the whole road. There's a BIG difference.

Sorry, one of my pet-peeves. There is no "°" in the HID ratings. It's not a degree, it's a Kelvin. So it's just 6000K, becasue K replaces "°". ° Has to deal with heat, K deals with color

It is written Kelvin not Kalven and 1 degree Kelvin is -273.16 °C which is the absolute zero point. So they use degree Kelvin for temperatures and just Kelvin for the colour of light bulbs like for example 6000 Kelvin which stands for a bulb with a maximum white colour

The 6000 K (Pure White) bulbs are the most powerfull and give the most light of all bulbs. The 8000 K (Blue) and 10000 K (Purple) bulbs are purely for the looks of the lights but they aren't as powerful as the 6000 K

When I looked online it was about $150 per bulb for Philips D2S 6000K Bulbs, so not sure what the 8k or 10k would run.
