i would say get 6000k, they are very white to you with a slight blue tinge to other drivers...high/low beam conversions are not cheap, and if you find one cheap off ebay your taking a chance with cheaper products...its better to spend a lil more upfront and have them be reliable for when you need them

idk, he dosnt drive it in snow, he has so much money into that tahoe it rarely sees the rain...i wouldnt get 8000k if u have alot fog around it, it bounces off the fog easily
