My bulbs are a little too yellow for my taste. I was thinking either straight white or a tad higher for a hint of blue.

my guess would be 4300k as manufacturers used to always use that.

Default It's D2s. I bought one of the sets from ebay for like 60 bucks. Still working good.

I got 8000k and I like it but often wonder if I should've gotten the 6000k. The blue is very light on the 8000k but I am hoping the 6000k will be more white.

Default changed the OEMs 2mos ago to Phillips bulbs @ 5100k, if I'm not mistaken.

Note, though, that new xenon bulbs do take a little bit of time/use before their light takes on the familiar very sharp-white hue when continuously on.
