4300k
What your confusing as a high kelving bulb is actually the colorband of the projector.
4300k oem bulb in Acrua TL projectors
This is the colorband (the blue portions of the beam)....
This is what happens when your eyes are in the same line of sight as the colorband....

Yes. The higher you go in kevlin, the more color, but less lumens (light output).
4300k is the ideal output for best lumens. That is why all cars come equipped with 4300k. It best mimicks true sunlight.

I've already mentioned why....
As for doing what everyone else seems to be doing, I hope you don't live your life by that mentality.

people dont realize.....there are alot of use who care more about the light output than the looks of having HIDs. I rigged some TSX HIDs into my stock headlamps.....4300k are pretty damn bright but i have friends with their 8000k and 10k kits who get alot of blue but not much light ouput. If you want bright HIDs 4300-4500k = best but if you want blue HIDs 6000-8000k is where its at now if you want a purpleish look.....10,000k ewwwww
