Really? I know they will emit more light but not sure how that tint of blue would like with my Silver Monte...

Awe. For some reason I thought you had 6k...

I will go check the chart again.

The higher the kalvins the less light emmited. 5k is the best light output you can get and they'll be pure white. 6ks will start to turn blue and emit less light. The further up you go the bluer they'll get and you get less output overall

Theres not a big difference in output between 5000 & 6000 & the 6000 is nicer to drive with at night

Well no. There's not a real difference until you get up to about 10k. 12k is awful though, and it looks purple.

Just curious, why did you go high beams? And how did disable your DRL?
