ALl HID's in canada fall into a grey area at this point in time as far as the law is concerned. If you dont want to bait yourself out to much then I highly suggest pickin up the 6000k kit as it gives you the whitest light output ,despite what people say. And either way the higher you go up in Kelvins the more output you lose.

4300K is also the brightest. 6000K is still fine, 8000K and higher your loosing the purpose of getting HID in the first place. might as well just get blue H4 bulbs if blue is your goal.

I would never go higher then 6000K, its just not going to give the light output.
