I also know that everyone's eyes are slightly different and individually we prefer different colors. Really there is no one size fits.
Additionally the shape of the reflector housing can affect the way a retro fit kit looks.
Also, 8% of men are color blind. This will change what like K rating they like.
Blue Light affects sleep. It will cause a rise in awareness, tons of info online if you google. I feel that While driving at night using the HID 6000K, It slightly changes the color of the signs and surroundings causing me to be more awake. Maybe it is all in my head!  |
