I love my 5000k HIDs

Thanks. Yeah, it's a huge improvement over halogen bulbs. I think this color temperature provides the most light too. I used to run 10,000k a while back and it would just make signs and reflectors on the road glow.

4300K is peak output in terms of luminous intensity (the most usable light). All OEM applications run 4300K. As you move higher in the color temperature range the amount of usable light drops off drastically. If you move high enough, you'll end up with less light than the Halogens originally made. There is a false sense of intensity as the light shifts to the UV end of the spectrum.
People often use high color temp bulbs to gain that color flicker effect of the projector lens. The cause of which is simply the prismatic effect of the lens separating the colors of the light into a band at the top of the cutoff.
If you're interested improving the performance of your headlights, you shouldn't venture above 5000K.

Depo e-codes are on my list for this summer as well. I'm currently running "3000k look" H7 bulbs in my fogs and they look decent. Not as bright as projectors would be though
