Default 4300k or 6000k?

Ok im getting really close to buying my HID's from Xenondepot.com what do you guys think would be the best one of the 4300k or 6000k and maybe if you have any pics that would really help.

4300k to 5000k will be pure white just like the luxury cars have. 6000k with have a light blue tint. I have 6000k in my truck and 5000k in my wifes trailblazer and like them both.
6000k with 9005 halogen fog light for comparison

Just remember that the higher the number doesn't mean it's brighter. They are rated on the Kelvin scale,i.e. 4300k=white, 6000k=white with blue tint,8000k=bluish purple. Go high enough and they will be red. I have the Mecca Tune kit, ran me $250
