Because these HIDs have a hint of purple, would the lights "flicker" purple like bmw headlights? Or is that dependant on the projectors itself?

yes 8000k would be more blue but like i said before - the higher kelvin you go, the less light output you will get from the lights. 6000k are a great compromise of looks and function. but its up to you in the end.
