that's not an "upgrade".. you lose usable light.

Get 6000k and be done. Nice bluish hue with out major loss of light.

Lumens = Light.



35W 4300 Kelvin Stock S2000 HID Bulb: 3200 Lumens
35W 6000 Kelvin Aftermarket HID Bulb: 2800 Lumens
about 15% drop in light. I can tell you it's noticeable especially on a wet road.
