need hid color temp help! HURRY!

Every car that I have owned ive had hid's in. 99 civic-6000k, 06 scion xb-10000k, s2000-factory hid, 07 tundra-8000k and 3000k in the fogs. Besides the s2000 every one of the kits has been a mcculloch. They are more expensive, but since I never had problems with any of them, I continue to get those kits. I recently got a 5000k kit for my 08 si, but I'm not happy with them. They look too much like stock and I would say they even have some yellow in them......Well one of them. One of the bulbs is significantly more blue than the other. So anyway I'm sending them back and having them exchanged for either 6000k or 8000k. I CANT DECIDE! It seems like the housings on these civics are too small and dont really have the light output as some of the other cars Ive had, so that is what is making it tough for me. SO heres the deal. I have to get these things out in the mail so I am going to go take the current bulbs out. Hopefully I can get some replies so I can make a decision because I have to put a note with sending them back saying what I want.

I know this is all personal preference, so here is the look I have/ am going for. Its a rallye red si coupe with blacked out windows and tails, it will be receiving some black tenzo r type m wheels with a red ring around them. I want the headlights to stand out on the road, but I also want a headlight that lights up the road well. I have searched as much as I can and have seen tons of pics, but I havent really seen side by side pics of 6000 next to 8000 on a 8th gen civic.

Anyway Im going to go remove the bulbs. Please hurry I need opinions because I cant freaking figure out what I want!
