Technically no 10,000k would not be a legal color. I know in the USA there are DOT Laws describing what colors / kelvin / CCT Ratings are legal and its actually pretty restrictive .

Since 10,000K will give you a deep blue/purple output, I'd advise against it. Why? The Highway Traffic Act explicitly forbids "blue" lights on the front of any vehicle except for police vehicles.
From the HTA: Quote:
Ok, it doesn't say ONLY blue, but why chance it and argue with a cop? My cousin got pulled over for having 8,000K halos in Mississauga and those are slightly less blue than 10,000K. Stick with 6,000K at the most for the best output/looks. |

You are taking about the headlights, the OP is talking about the angel eyes, 2 different things.

What kind of headlights do you have, are they halogen or xenon? There might be an LED solution to give you the blue look you are going for |

Read the original post - this person isnt asking about brightness or visibility if they are used as headlights. He is only asking about the angel eyes
