Buy yourself a 8000k or 8500k HID kit. That should give you that ricer - eh, contemporary look you're wanting.

8000k is not that blue. It's blue, but no where near "ricer". Step it up to 10k for what you want. Send me a PM. I can get you hooked up.

It really depends on who makes them I noticed. My 12000ks are the darkest blue possible. Some I've seen are purple at 12k.
