As close as possible to 6000K? LOL you must be a prime supporter of all the "street racer" kids with 1990s Civics with 6000K reflector-beam headlights.
HID is about getting MORE light output. If you want to stand out (in a negative way of course), then go ahead with 6000K and above. Then you might even be putting our less light than the original halogens made.
4300K is the ONLY correct color for low and high beam applications.
For fogs, 4300K is good, as well as something in the 3000K range for a yellow light.
Look at the lovely glare from the HID reflector based headlights on this old Civic:
Shit, even by looking at this picture, I'm feeling the glare!
