Oh no.....6000K vs. 4300K has a BIG difference! I just bought a set of 6000K for my C32. The 6000K has more blue, if you put 6000K on the left and 4300K on the right, you will think the 4300K is halogen!!
Btw, I just sent you an e-mail.....

Thats why I suggested you to get a pair of D2S 6000K for the headlights and change the foglights to 4300K. No need to use 6000K for the foglights.
People coming towards you will get blinded and run to you headon!!!

All factory Xenon lights are 4200k. Its the optics that sometimes make one brand seem more blue than others. They are the brightest color temp available.

Eurpsport. From the same website you were going to order from. Here is the difference between stage 1 and stage 2.
stage 1 vs stage 2
