You want 5000K to match your oem bi-xenons. You need to really take measurements by kelvin temps. Lumens is a measurement on brightness, not color.

the LED bulb will draw less power, wouldn't that trigger bulb out warning in the command?

AZN Optics

Standard LEDs yes, but not Canbus units. With Canbus units, there are built in resistors that simulate same current draw as standard halogen bulbs which tricks the SAM units with the feedback check.

I don't know the technology behind it but they are made to be error free.
