Ok, a couple of things about that. But first, please tell me this car will never be driven on the road.

1) putting a HID bulb in a reflector based headlight is bad bad bad. It creates a ton of glare. Its blinding for other drivers. Its illegal. Its dangerous.
2) 12000K (assuming you meant that, 1200K isn't even on a normal range there) is not even possible with HID bulbs. There are some kits that claim it, but most aren't really 12000K, or if they are, they would be so dim, it will be less light than an incandescent bulb, much less a halogen like what you have now.
3) 4000K - 5000K is white daylight. 4200K is what BMW, Mercedes, and every other car with factory HID use. 6000K is nice and blue, but dimmer. Anything over that is usually a colored bulb, less light. The bluer the light, the more glare, the more haze. Its a higher frequency, and the light "bleeds" out to be glare for oncomming traffic. 8000K HID creates so much glare, that even in HID projectors, you still blind oncomming traffic, even if its aimed right.

If you want that nice blue/purple twinkle the BMW, Audi, etc. have, you will need to retrofit some HID projectors into your housings, and run a proper (not rebased) bulb. If you want more color, then bend the cutoff closer, and your color banding will increase. Their headlights are pure WHITE, not blue, but they have a colored cutoff from light refraction. But please, stop with these dim, ugly, unsafe, illegal, cheap *** blue color HID bulbs in not HID headlights.

Unless this is for a show car ONLY, don't put HID lights in a reflector.

If it is for show, and will not be driven, then go buy the cheapest autozone, pepboys, etc. h4 bulb you an find ($4.99) and butcher the thing until it fits, and you'll know what to do with the real HID capsule and won't mess them up on a first attempt.

For a street car, retro some projectors.

well color temperature is not going to make a difference on how much glare there is, at least when a projector housing is concerned. The beam pattern and cutoff is determined by the geometry of the reflector, lens, bulb position, and shield position. Increasing the color temp isn't going to change how much light escapes above the cutoff or how sharp the cutoff is.

But I agree, anything other than OEM 4300K is retarded. And OMG 12000K how ghey is that, that's like ultraviolet blacklight color temp. Yeah, let's give everyone a tan and burn their retinas as we drive down the road at night.
