I am a professional as well (a little under 30) and know exactly what you are looking for. I am running 10K bulbs that have almost the exact look of the high end OEM lexus, audi, and infiniti systems. They look the part because our cars were supposed to come with them but someone forgot to tell chrysler/mercedes when you make a car over $30K HIDs should be there. Some think that anything over 5K is ridiculous, this is simply because they have never used them. I have heard people say they are purple or violet, this could not be more incorrect, that is not until you hit the 12-15K spectrum, an 8 or 10K will give you the look you will like, a 5K is going to be more white, less blue. Just trying to offer every aspect of opinion....
