Most shops sell them for $125-175 not shipped. I sell on HONDA TECH for MEMBER SPECIAL for JUST $100 SHIPPED. PM for more details!
You are really close to being BANNED ! .. quit advertising your $hit, there is appropriate section for this, Not here.

You guys are really enjoying bashing on a honest business. I am not here to offer CHEAP QUALITY materials that break on you; I am here to offer REAL, GOOD QUALITY KITS for a VERY reasonable cost. SOME KITS cost A LOT, some cost way less, but either way, I don't sell knock offs, only real brand named item, and I take very good care of my customer base outside of Honda tech and I have credentials to prove it. I don't feel I have to prove myself to any one but those who have done business with me would be my voice. I have nothing bad to say about any of you other then "hey thanks for your opinions," and when you are finally ready to sit down and buy a kit worth your time then I'll be more then happy to help you pick out the right one for your car and ship it out to you anywhere in the nation.

6K is very bright. But 4.3K is yellow so its upto you. You should get 5K if you want white and bright.
100shipped is alot for regular HID's. I am going to start selling HID's soon and they will be cheaper and better than the ones sold around the US for the most part.

people are bashing you because you are trying to sell stuff in the wrong spot, also because you arent the first person to come around on h-t selling pnp kits saying that they are good quality for a cheep price.

also you want to say your kit is good, then lets see some agasnt the wall pics of civics,integras, not high end cars that most likely had hids from factory,

No its not. Its a yellow color. Just like OEM Bulbs. Some HID Makers have these retarded color scales where the colors are different. But 4300k is yellow.

thats like 3 different lights. And it depends on the HID maker. Because on most 4300K like OEM Color which is a yellowish white. Just like OEM Halogen bulbs. 5k is "Factory White" which is from most cars which come with HID's. And 6k is commonly referred to "Brilliant White" or "Crystal White" as its PURE WHITE.

Before answering your Question.
From where im at, the color coding of the HIDs depends on the brand or manufacturer.

There's the 3000K (yellow) and 4300K (yellowish-same as stock) with same color-coding with the diff brands.
then for the 6000K, 8000K, 10000K, and 12000K, here are the differences in coding.

There's the Superwhite, Bluish-white, and Purplish-white.

Some have this coding:
Superwhite -6000K
Bluish-white -8000K
Purplish-white -10000K

while some have:
Superwhite -8000K
Bluish-white -1000K
Purplish-white -12000K
***these are the common/basic HID white colors, imo.
-----

So, better check with the sellers what coding do they have. Or better yet, use the color name, not the "K"s.
Now to answer your question, in my opinion, the brightest is the superwhite, best at night. Also if it's raining hard, it's not much of a help for the far view. But if you're not much into colors, just get the 4300K (yellowish / similar to stock), good even if it's raining.

Btw, what's your car?

From what I've read, the lower the number, the more usable lumens (light output) you have. So 4300K is OEM white, almost pure white, slightly yellowish and provides the most visible light on the road. Just keep that in mind.
