Default i run 6000k right now...
have had stock and 6000k, and 8000k
personally i think 6000k is the best balance of good looks and good visibility
no noticeable loss of sight range at 6000k
at 8000k definite loss of visibility

4300k b/c most light (and doesn't look ricey). Go Ebay - seems cheapest.

Default I had 5300K Osram bulbs with my Euros and were bright.
Now I just put in the 6000K bulbs along with 50W ballasts and I think the prior setup was a little brighter. A very subtle hint of blue in this kit.

Unless you upgrade the ballasts too. 5400 on 50w ballast is BRIGHT

Default question for you.
I have 6000K on my 50W ballasts now and wonder if going back to my 5300K bulbs with these 50W ballasts would produce a brighter beam?

Default When I have to replace my bulbs I will definitely go with that setup
You can never have too much light when you live in deer country :-)
