Default X5 8000K HID Conversion Kits Diamond-White VS TechOne 8000K or 6000K?

I am debating to get the X5 8000k Diamond white or TechOne 6000/8000K. I really want super clear white light. When I look at the X5 on http://www.hid-lights.com they look diamond white. I wonder have anyone used ithis before or TechOne. Techone is one of the popular one that everyone wants now, but I am not sure how they look like. Please give me advice.. thanks

if you really want white, stay under 6000K.

either one will produce a nice usable "white" light, but the 6000k will have a bluish tint compared to the 4300k.

4300k is better IMO. that is what all OEM HID's use, and will give you the most visibility.
.
dont get 8000k unless you dont like to see **** in front of you at night.

Do the techone have built-in igniters or separate? Also, what you think is the best color I should choose from if I have a Forest Green DB8, white/ whitish blue?

why would the color of your car determin the color of your headlight?
go to hidplanet.com/forums for automotive lighting technology.
HID is to see better at night, not to look cool as you're cruising Hollywood blvd haha.

4300K in TL projector:

4300K (w/o a projector) can look somewhat yellow, but it is brighter empirically
