You are correct 4300k is oem. This provides the most light however will have slight yellow tint to it probably the best true white is 5000k with little yellow in it when you move up in the k's the more purple and blue but less light. I run 6500k

I got the 8000 rikensport xenons bluish tint. No malfunctions but I did blow a bulb/balast. Waiting on replacement.
