Default Proxenon, suv-lights, etc????

Need help and advice:

Scenario
Have a new GX470, lowbeams are 9005, want to replace with HID's

Problem
I have e-mailed proxenon, suv-lights and two other aftermarket suppliers asking which kit is best for the vehicle.
Each supplier has replied with a different answer.
Each supplier has made some negative comment about their competitors products.

Which supplier do I believe?
Do I want 4000K?, 6000K? 9000K?, 12,000K? and WHY??

I have been e-mailing these companies with questions for a week and each time the answer is more confusing.

Guys give me some help please!

if you want the normal hid oem stock look, get the 4000k, that's enough. if you want whiter a bit bluer look, and kinda like (a bit) bimmer and audi, get 6000k. do not EVER get anything higher than 6000k. 9000k and 12000k are garbage. they are very dim and they do nothing but attract cops.

imho i would get 6000k, more special and yet practical.

about the companies, suvlight is very reputable and a lot of people go with them. they are more pricey and probably that's what the proxenon says

proxenon i have my doubt with them. never dealt with them before, but the fact that they have 9000k and 12000k hid, and that they have blue tinted (??) 6000k hid is kinda BS to me. and they way they "explain" their stretegy doesn't work on my at all.

i personally got it from somewhere else coz' i think the price from suvlight is too high (not worth it). you can try emailing jason at discountcycle@ureach.com and get a price quote. i got my kit (philips ballasts and bulbs) for 460 shipped and it's direct plug and play.

and maybe you can post up what the companies say about what to get and stuff so we can discuss that too

E-mailed your suggestion, (jason at discountcycle@ureach.com) and no response.

Any other suggestions?

THanks for your help
