The best bulbs are Philips Ultinon 6000K bulbs. They are the best balance of looks, performance, and quality. I've tried a bunch on various vehicles, and nothing even comes close. GET THOSE! Get em on fleabay

I personally feel that anything above 6000K is rice. 10000k is like purple, and I'd laugh at it in any vehicle.

I had 6600Ks in my fogs, and I had to change them to 6000K because they were embarrassing

Those #s are color temperature, not brightness. Your light's performance will be worse with the higher #s. 4300K is best (stock), but 6000K is a great trade off for the better looks

I don't have true xenon lights but seen Carlabs' 8000k and I like them. I installed a 8000k Carlab HID kit and they look just like my other car which is OEM BiXenon. Carlab does sell 8000k Xenon bulbs just call them.
