The highest light output you can get from HIDs are at 4700k. Anything higher is simply producing less visible light. 4300k is ideal for oem manufacturers as it will not distract other motorist since it leans between the yellow and clear color temperature spectrum.

Anyone knows wat's the difference between D4S & D4C bulbs? I order the GARAX D4S but cames the D4C. Fitment is the same though didn't find any difference in bulb appearance. i change to 6000K, the headlight is whiter than the DRL now, not really matching.

The "S" stands for shielded meaning that the headlight has a shield on top of the bulb to direct the light down. D4C bulbs are basically the universal aftermarket of these bulbs.
