S2000 OEM falls in the 4300k range.

Why the heck would you want to replace the OEM light with some tacky looking 10000k bulbs? Less light output and bright blue that will surely draw attention of police.

Kids these days...

id say stock oem is .. fine.. lol
10,000K is just way too blue mannn.. a bad day cop will get u no matter what.
if u want a little brighter... 6000k is enough.. 8000k is pushing it.

4300k gives the best light output. 6000k + gives less light output but they are more blue.
