HID's

So is there any way to install HID's in the running lights that will work. I'm planning on doing the 10k in the normal headlights and thought it would be cool to have some running during te day as well.

They have almost no function. the amount of useable or see-able light is very low. You wont even know your headlights are on when it rains or when its foggy. You'd really only be doing it for cosmetics and not for any function at all.

Didn't know that. So what 8k is the best? What about the 12k?

higher is worse. you want around 5k to 6k if you're buying HIDs for visibility.

We sell bulbs with kelvin ratings that range from 3000K to 12000K. 3k being yellow and 12k being the bluish in color. The most popular color we sell is 6000k. That would be described as white with a hint of blue. For maximum visibility, we would recommend staying within 4500K-6000K. The closer the color is to natural sunlight, the more you will see on the road. You will lose visibility when going towards 12000k. Most people who do 10000-12000k are going for a specific look.

You clearly know shit about this. Google for Christ sake. This took me less than 35 seconds to find this and skim to confirmed your question. I however already knew all this info.
