    I'm going through different colour temps, i've used 6000k and 4300k and 8000k and all different bulbs, to find ones i really like.

    No, i haven't got done for them :P and no haven't had any problems with them.

    What colour did you find the best? I have 6000K now and they are really good but I am just afraid that they might be a way too bright...Was going to change it to 4300K – Would you recommend it? Is there a noticeable difference?

    Thanks

    4300K has more lumens (thus is brighter)......4300K is the optimum colour temperature as stated by the majority of OEM Manufacturers and bulb manufacturers. Over 6000K are hopeless in wet conditions and look...well ricey. Any HID's look ricey if they aren't seated in OEM HID projectors. Note: OEM Manufacturers such as OSRAM and PHILIPS will sell them as 4100K to allow for a 200K colour shift.

    4300K start of with a yellowy whitish colour temp but after 20-30 hours of use turn into a pure white...(no blue, no yellow just white). This is called "Colour Shift" as HID's get older the colour temperature will rise hence the lumens will fall.

    4300K > 5000K > 6000K over 6k...dont bother.

    If you would prefer a bluish tinge...the 5000K are a good choice. They have a slight tinge of blue while still keeping up in the lumen output and remaining decent in wet conditions.
