i recommend 4100-5500k
4100 is slightly whiter than halogen, that's what i use
4500k are usually the ones that comes in luxury cars i believe
5500k is when you are hitting blue and getting into purple
remeber, hid bulbs will colorshift after many hours of lighting. my osram 4100k bulbs were yellow/purple, i believe they have color shifted. my current philips are yellow/white
the color will also depend on what projectors you are using
when i had the 4500k catz in the tyc projectors, they were yellow
when i fitted them into the valeos, they were white/blue
