8000k will have a blue tint. I love 6000k. I have that in my truck and the wifes car. Just about every HID "kit" out there is plug and play. It just plugs into your factory socket, and you have to mount the ballast somewhere else. Got some pics? I want them in my bike, but I won't have it much longer.. I had to take off the whole front end because I couldn't get my clip back on when I put a Silverstar in there a couple years ago..

Yes that headlight clip is a real bitch!
Here is my review.
6000k is probably the the color choice.
I got 8000k, but I lost some light for the blue color (Not a good trade).
I had to pull the lower side fairing to install.
I cable tied the **** out of it, and called it good.
Even though, it is about four times brighter, I still managed to hit something yesterday that launched my bike high enough to crown my nuts on the tank!
I do not like the high beam, as it looks like to horizontal beams (Bight, dark, bright), BUT TO LOW BEAM LOOKS GREAT!
Here is a before and after shot, and install picture.
