That's a tough decision, I really love the 5000K as they are the best compromise in terms of brightness and blue/white tint. 6000K is definitely on the blue side, so IMO I would go with the 4300K if I had to choose, but personally I would wait.

Would of been good if this was updated on the original thread.

The higher the kelvin (k) the less bright it will be.

4300k is more stock looking. 5000k is white but has a slight hint of blue.

I want to buy the kit too, the 5000K H11, cause you guys don't have the 4300K.
