try to go for 6000K or 6400K instead of 8000K...
if you read around, 8000K is just the change in color but the light is not as bright as 6000K (correct if i'm wrong...)

4300-4500 is the brightest and pure white. 6000K is a hint of blue and 8000K will be blue. 8000K will not be bright compared to 4500K at all, the higher you go, the less bright the kit is.

i've seen 4300k kits that give off a yellow haze though. will this happen with 4500k on the prolumen kits?

Not sure about the Prolumen kits, but I can tell you that my McCulloch 4500K kit, combined with the TYC projector headlights, makes the lights look just like the Acura TL/TSX lights. Same colour, same shape, same everything.

i just read OptionJDM's thread, his 6000K looks bright! Brighter than any HID/Xenon i ever seen... I suppose different K are just different colors? And they are as bright.

I was told that any 8000K or above will be dimmer and not as bright as lower K.

People choose 6000-8000K because they look nice and bright. 4500K looks white/yellowish to me... I rather take blue with a hint of green

Why? You are kinda defeating the purpose of the upgrade then as 9000 puts out less light output.

6000k Is nearly purest white and the way to go IMO.
