The temperature doesn't work the way you're thinking. 6000k, 5000k, 4300k, those are all bulb color temperatures. The higher the number, the more blue (and eventually purple) the color of the light is. I'm not an expert, but I do know the basics... Anything above 6000k is actually dropping in visibility. You want to stay between 4300 and 6000k. I prefer 4300k and I'll never try to go above 5000 personally. All those people driving around with 10000k, 14000k, etc are actually seeing WORSE than before, and also causing eye fatigue for themselves. Plus, the people that are ignorant enough to run those bulbs are usually also running them in Halogen housings, so they've really destroyed their lighting. That and it glares and blinds everyone else.
I hate HIDs lol
