I used to have 6000k HID's in my Audi A4 and they were PERFECT. I'm going to do the same to my IX one of these days soon. Swap the fogs out too so they're more white.

The stock one should be the best for the function, if you like some other colors, get the 6000K, It will give you white and purple. the 8000k give you more blueish.

I like my 6000K. I put them to all my cars !!
