    i know you said he couldn't source the 4300 bulbs, but what about a 5000k bulb in the H3 (for offroad Hella lights). I think the 3000's would be too yellow, and the 6000's that you have look too blue (in the pic) for my taste. Could you ask him about that and get back to me. Thanks.

    Wouldn't the 100 watt wash out the coloring like a 55watt.

    I would imagine a 4300 be yellow. And 6000 be really close to pure white

    4300k is true white. I have 6000k in my car and they're just a tad blue. 3000k are yellow.

    This is true with 35 and partially 55 watt ones... but the higher wattage washes out the color like others have said.

    I would definitely go higher Kelvin to achieve the same color with the higher wattage. I would go with 5000K to 6000K for pure white with a very slight hint of blue.
