I was looking at aftermarket bulbs a while back and came to the realization that the higher Kelvin numbers, while offering great colors etc. were actually becoming dimmer therefore less effective.
Thats when I decided to just stay with the Xenon bulbs that came with the car.
Hope this helps!

80 bucks, man I feel ripped off. I have HID 6000k for both fogs and low beam. I love them
I also have 6000k for low beams too. I love them also. you don't see that nasty yellowish in 4300k.
Since you like white so much, and 6000k hid's... You think you would like it in your interior? I've got a great setup in mine that's bright like the sun, LED's too. =).
If you want a hint, its 24 LED's on a led Board inserted into the interior lights. You can take that plastic piece out and insert it. Its so much nicer than OEM, and better than those little wedge LED's.

This should do it for your HID needs. =)
HID Kit
Hmmm. I can't seem to find that cable anymore. I'm sure other vendors on the site has it or you can call around to get the cable. should range from 20-25-30 dollars. =)
