6k or 8k, but cops technically can give you a ticket if HIDs are not housed in projectors, most of the time if your in a big enough city they wont bother about it. i have 10k hids no issues

if your worried about the cops best thing to do is just put some sylvania's or something brighter but a stock replacement. if you don't really care i would recommend 6000k. they are more then enough light even on the darkest highway

Just depends on the cop and how strict/bored he/she is.

I run 8k and I live in a city with about 6 townships and haven't been bothered by the cops in either one... Actually some of the newer cop cars here upgraded to HIDs...
