NO! 4300K won't work! They're not perfectly white, which means you will still get a greenish tint!

Yellow HIDs with yellow lenses are NOT redundant, that's my point! You need to consider the fact that only yellow light or perfectly white light will filter through the lens correctly.

To the OP, you're very welcome to try with 4300K, but don't be surprised when the colour looks goofy.
