Those kelvins will not have good light output for visibility, if that's what you are asking. I use Phillips 5000k but would go 6000k maximum,

Try Xenon depot for your needs or if you want 6000k, try nigel-jdmparts. Both are vendors for this site and you can find them in the vendor section.

4300k is the best light output. the higher you go, the worse the visibility gets

That really depends. Anything 4300k-5000K is the brightest light output.

I purchased a pair of Osram Xenarcs to try them out and wow! It's a huge difference from the factory bulbs. Not much of a difference between the Osrams and the Phillips, but the Osrams are definitely brighter. IMO they're the brightest out on the market right now. They start up blueish, but after breaking them in it's a nice pure white with light (barely noticeable) hues of blue

Be careful buying "genuine OEM Philips" bulbs on ebay. There are tons of realistically-looking Chinese fakes out there.
