I have the 6000k Philips Ultinon bulbs in my 06 projectors. Paired with my 2500k Piaa Plasma Ion fog lights, I personally can't see any noticeable difference in light output at night compared with the stock 4300k bulbs and stock fogs. The blue they give off looks really nice and gives it more of a classier, yet aggressive look.

I'll post some pics of what my setup looks like later tonight.

heres the bottom line. 6500k is considered "pure white". reguardless of the fact that brand A's 6000k may be diff then brand B's 6000k.

pure white is obviously going to give the best light output. style is up to each individual user. if joe-schmoe wants to use 10000k, he'll look really cool! especially when you see how the pretty blue light lights up the tree bark after you crash because you cant see! but hey, you sure looked cool right before you crashed!

Are you trying to argue that 6500k is better than 4300k? If so, that is dead wrong.
