I have 8000K in my '05 right now. The OEM definitely has much better light output, but the 8000K is much more dramatic. 6000K may be a good compromise. Driving my '05 back to back with my Stock '06 there is a noticeable difference in lighting quality. I have 8000K's in my Accord lowbeam, and 6000K on the Hi beam. The 6000K's intensity wipes out the 8000K. It's like they're not even on. I have a 3000K HID kit on the Fog light kit of my Si, the Yellow HID is just neat looking!
