HID's in the colour 6000k are legal, however 8000k and up, also 3000k are illegal " Where on earth did you get that info from?? So what your saying is if you get pulled over for lights that look to a police officer " illegal " they will stand in front of your car and look at their pants to see if they light up white?? What about stock halogens there not white so that means he will ticket you.? lol

i work at a performance shop that happens to sell HID's and aftermarket bulbs and know what colors are legal, not only from customers experience, but from reading the packaging.

anywhere from 4000k-6000k is legal, that is factory colour to pure white pretty much. most PIAA bulbs are 4100k unless you go for the 3000k's. i always urge customers to get the 6000k bulbs for headlights so they wont come back and exchange them when they get pulled over.

as for them standing in front looking at their pants, in guelph, kitchener, waterloo and cambridge everyone who has been pulled over for questionable lighting has seen the officer to that to determine what is legal and what isnt. 6000k looks blue at the headlight however when it shines on a black surface it is white however.
