4300K bulbs from kits will vary widely in actual color temperature. Having compared many different kit bulbs in my past of the same supposed color temperature, if people provide pictures of their setups, it is best to mention what brand as well as camera settings (white balance, etc.)

i read somewhere that some OEM's use 5000K for their hids. i have 6000k for my lows and fogs. 8K and up are tacky IMO.
