[s-cars] Sick HID

[Robert Myers]

The color temperature of the sun is 5300 K.  Anything lower than that 
will look more yellow and higher than that will look more toward blue 
(and all the way, eventually, to violet).   I like 5300 K to match 
sunlight but a bit higher than that, up to 6000 K maximum, is 
acceptable (to me anyway).  As Lee says you get more useful light on 
the road at these lower color temperatures.
