For maximum lumens stick with stock, if you go to 6000K you will loose 25% of the lumens (light output) You will forgo performance for cosmetics.

Also stick with Philips, Osram (Sylvania) or GE brands. They are all quality D2S bulbs. Avoid any bulb that says D2C on it, it is Aftermarket "crap".

You also risk killing your ballast running the Asian made bulbs. Its just all around a bad idea.

If you insist on 6000K buy Philips Ultinon. P/N 85122WX

for 5000K use Philips 85122CM or CX or GE 5000K P/N 53550.

If you go to say 8000K you will loose about 40% of the light output. The higher you go the worse it gets.

Your stock bulbs will color shift up towards 5000K after 50-100 hours of on time use so wait a little time and you will like the whiter output the stockers will produce.

Gotta be on the top ten must do in the ricer bible. Higher temps don't do jack squat other than losing visibility. Why? Because you want oncoming cars to see your cool purple lights? please.
