You should check out my 8000K whiter and brighter than galaxygrey13's 4300k. Oh, but for the first time some dude on the sidewalk had his hand infront of his face going AHH! lol

And they say the 8th gen's housing keeps glare to a minimum.
LOOK AT IT! It's 15 feet above my head and I'm only a few feet from the wall.

Ugh, please do the rest of the world of favor and not glare the world with 8000k lightbulbs. The glare also comes from the fact you're using higher Kelvin, which has a bleeding effect. Keep it under 6000k.

McCulloch makes the ballast. Not sure about were they get their bulbs. I have 6000k too. About the same amount of glare. Custom Lightz are doing a retro with tsx clear projectors. Will be about a week, can't wait.
