The higher the number - the more blue in the light.

5000k is best for seeing light

6000k is probably the most common and probably the highest you want for road use

brilliant mate thanks for the advice, anything over 6000k would that get me pulled over or dazzle other people?

Depends on the guy/gal pulling you over.

Some are funny about it - some are not.

Safest bet is to stick with 6000k or lower.

yeah i think ill just get the 6000k ones.

thanks for the help though mate

6000k here with no problems at all.

It just depends the cop in question as said.

the worst you will get is sent for an MOT test, go to the MOT station where you usualy get passed. Then no problem what so ever really
