Its true, but thats only because the brand is lying about what the actual rating of the bulb is. It takes very expensive equipment to measure something like that, and they figure most people will never know.Depends on what brand though...some brands don't get blue until 8,000K
I had some 8kK in my IS300. they were "extremely bright" with the bluish color. They were pretty reflective and would illuminate the road signs. They say that the output is bad but I couldve live with that. I traded them b/c they were too bright. It caused too many problems. Get the 45s or 65s. If you want purple (illegal/not output) get the 12s.Thanks...just can't tell on that site which light is more blue...6,000K or 8,000K the 6,000K looks really blue on one pic but not as much on another
