Need a little help, new owner here..

Need a little help guys, anyone good with with lighting i need your assistance, I'm trying to quite possibly find out the light output for my bulbs, got in my car leaving work only to realize my passenger bulb went out (hoping its just the bulb and not the ballast), i now know its a d2r bulb my car uses but i just can't tell if its the factory 4300k, or 5000k, or even 6000k from some of the photos i've compared it against, i'm going just to order two new bulbs, not interested in having the light output being off between the driver's and passenger side because one bulb is newer. I know most may say just pull the fender liner back and take a look, but its been pretty cold here and i haven't had the time. I've provided a few pics below to help, thanks. Also did some research and i see phillips are recommended, are there any brands a tad cheaper just as good, how are sylvania's? any good? Are phillips OEM? (Pics removed, figured it out')

i have personally only used the phillips bulbs and i like them. i run the 5k bulbs cause i like the color. but to each their own. 4300 is white. 5k is blueish white. 6k is whiteish blue. just sped the extra on the phillips and you wont regret it.

i personally like to take my bumper off to get to the lights cause its a real tight fit to get at it from the fender liner. It can be done but i personally dont like scraping up my hands when it easy enough to take the bumper off.

but welcome

I can agree take the bumper loose or off to do this. Busted hands hurt for days lol. Bumper loose is just a few minutes work.
