lower the Kelvin, higher the visibility.
As for output quality, a HID bulb is a HID bulb. Output will be the same, just more/less visability depending on the Kelvin.

4300K is pure white and is an OEM colour for HIDs. dont get the ebay lights, waste of money.

Your getting bad light output because you put HID bulbs that is meant for halogen housing.
The optics are differnt. You'll never get good output like that. if not worst.
Sure it'll LOOK brighter but the lighting performance is not there.
You need to do a projector retro fit. end of story.
It's alot of money to have someone do it for you, so why not do it yourself.
Wayy cheaper and it's pretty simple. I have a tutorial up go take a look at it.
If you don't have money to do it right then save yourself the money and stay stock or get brighter halogen lights.

It's pretty funny though everytime i'm stoped beside a car that has a plug and play kit, i drown out there lights with a sharp cut off and they wonder WTF? lol
