Default 6000K Philips or 4800K Hella?

Well I'm thinking...I'd love to have HID kits but don't know which to get. The 4800K is closest to what the HID can put out in light amount. (someone said the same earlier 4600K max) but I also want a bit of color added which 6000K's would look nice Another fact is I'm looking at this 6000K Philips Ultinon's for $430 shipped which sounds good...Any suggestions?

4300k HIDs, only way to go, most light output, great HID look, BUT if you want a much bluer look with a bit less light output then fine, go with 6000ks, but I wouldnt, stick to 4300k, there is a reason that EVERY manufacturer puts these in their cars stock from the factory. Enjoy

How come Lexus cars have that blu-ish tint to their HID's? Wouldnt that mean that they are using something other then a 4300k setup? Or is that what a 4300k kit would look like?

Headlight housing optics. The yellow part of the spectrum is blocked out. It is still a 4300 k bulb
