Now I see why you have a negative view on PnP kits.
First of all, 8000K has more "refractivity index" than 4300K. What this means is that (all else being equal) the higher up the Kelvin spectrum you go, the more the light is susceptible to being bounced of anything that would refract (change the path) of it. For example, this is why fog lamps are 3000k, because relative to 8000K, it has a much lower refractivity index. In the rain, 8000k will suck because the water droplets of the rain will change the light trajectory - thus glare.
From what I have seen, 4300k in stock halogen reflector is not that bad. (Certainly when compared to the 8000k.)
There IS a reason why NO OEM manufacturer uses 8000k, and it has to do with more than just glare.
