I would have to go with 8000 or 10000 for me, I don't really like the purple look and 10,000 is plenty bright. Post up pictures of the dif temps so people can pick better.

4300 is the brightest white. I have a pair of them in my '06 600RR and they rock.

I have a pair of Denso ballast/ignitors in between my headlights, and 4300K HID bulbs. These are real HID's from a Lexus, not some crap regular bulb. 4300K is the white light and produces the highest actual output. In other words these are the brightest, and if you were to see them in person there would be no doubt.

has anyone had problem switching their lights? I switched to the hyper blue on my r6 when I had it and it fried my voltage regulator. so I had to buy a new one and switch back to stock lights. although I loved how they looked for the short while I had them so I would like to do it on my CBR RR...

Are you talking HID's or those cheap painted-blue headlight bulbs? The HID's we are talking about consist of a ballast and a true HID bulb. HID's don't melt any harnesses or regulators, unless they were installed wrong (which would be difficult to do, since installation of an HID system is a breeze.)

And for the original question..........

10000k looks sweet (I have them on my 600RR), but I would probably go with 6000, if I were to buy again for the greater light output, but damn does the 10000k look great.

10000k:
