how is 6k not just for looks as well?
All bulbs are just 4k bulbs with coloring on them to make them appear to be other color ranges, and adding a colored housing reduces light output. 4K is for optimal lighting, anything higher is just for looks. I'd say 5000-6000 is a good balance of looks and function however, as you are barely giving up any light output for a much nicer look and to most people it will "appear" brighter without being any brighter.
That said, no matter what bulbs you change, you are not going to see deer any better, or anything else. You will need to modify the housings, aim them up so you blind people, or add more lights to see more.
Foglights are the best option for better visibility as most (oem at least) cast a good amount of light out to the sides, and down low out front.
However, if Sophia is just after nicer looking lights, 6k bulbs would be perfect for her most likely.
