12,000k is pretty damn blue. with a slight pinch of purple.
IMO, you shouldn't be considering anything above 8k because it's really an attention getter IMO. I have a hard enough time with 6,000k's and State Police. You only need 35W and they're stille pretty damn bright...I'd hate to see 55w in a reflector housing...
And if you're getting HID's over 6000k, you're getting it for 'the look' and color. Output of them just totally suck compared to 4300 or 6 or even 8k. And I keep thinking there's a cop somewhere because it shines off anything in a pure blue hue. I hate 'em. Only got 'em for the purple...and was very disappointed they didn't have more purple in 'em.
Here's 12,000k 35w.
Truck on right has 6000k heads, 3000k fogs. My truck on left is 12000k heads, 30000k fogs...
Reflections...6000k on left, 12000k on right.

Be prepared to wait a couple weeks.
I ordered my kit last week on Monday the 8th... they didn't ship 'em out until YESTERDAY. And it'll take another week for UPS to get them to me. They've got some SLOOOOOOW shipping responses, but their product is cheap and reliable.

They were shipped until the following Tuesday.
I'd imagine OEM HID's are the same, but I'm not positive... just a educated guess.

Yeah... I called them the day after (Tuesday) I placed the order because I couldn't pull up their site to check on my order status. They told me that my 4 HID kits would be shipped out before Friday.
They were shipped until the following Tuesday.
Yeah... HID's (at least aftermarket ones... not sure about OEM kits) aren't designed to be "flashed" It takes a lot of voltage IIRC to ignite the bulbs, making "flashing" a big nono.
