You'll be happy with the 5k. I run them and once they want up they are white with a very very slight hint of blue.

Some say 4500 is the purest white, but I couldn't be happier with my 5000K. They're very bright, and very white.

I run a DDM Raptor 35w kit with 4500k bulbs and am very happy with them, the color is very similar to OEM HIDs, so I imagine 5000k will be a slight touch more blue

I run 35W 5000K from DDM in the stock housing on both my truck and Tahoe. Love them. Like others have said, it is a very white light with a hint of blue. They are a light blue color when first lit but whiten out once warm.

I have 6000k lows and fogs. I love them but I'm getting some 5000k high beams. If they look as good as I think they will, I'll replace my others with them as well.

Ddm 4500k are pure white. Those should have a very small amount of blue. They will be far from yellow.

I had 5000k but they had some blue which I didn't like, so I went with with 4500k and they are nice and white. I think 4300k is the most white. It also depends on wattage. 55w will have less blue than 35w of the same color.
