higher the number, greater the temperature, less the light output.

sorry to correct you on this one, but 4100k-4300k is pure daylight brightness which = best light output. when you get under 4000k, like 300k for example, thats when it gets yellow. 6000k is a light hint of blue, and then you are correct from 8000k and on.
not trying to be rude, but just trying to put correct information out for everyone. i have an HID kit installed on mine thats 4300K and it really does look like daylight at night. auto manufacturers that include HIDs for their cars use only 4100K - 4300K if i remember correctly due to safety and function reasons. Its only their projectors that make it seem bluish when you see them. i hear going up to 6000K should be the furthest you stray from 4300K if you do want the hint of blue.
the further you go from 4300K, the worse the output lighting gets. don't get me wrong, they will still be bright and the hotspot will be dense with light, but the light around the hotspot will be much much weaker. in this case, if its a dark wet night, you wont be any better off than you were with the halogens.
hope this helps!
