Stock for best performance, anything aftermarket above 6000k and you lose 25+% of your output

+1. Leave the 8000k to the rice racers, looks silly IMO. 6000K is highest I'd go.

Hard to say since both are aftermarket, but the consistency between low priced knockoff bulbs is always a gamble, some my last a few years, and some may go out in a few weeks.
