It's not THAT bad. The highest K temperature I'd go is 6000K. Any higher, and you're just losing lumens at the expense of having a "blueish hue" to your headlights. 4300K looks a little yellow for my tastes to be honest. You won't have any problem with anywhere between 4300K and 6000K.

Phillips Ultinons are EXPENSIVE, but they're worth it.

Compared to my other cars (with standard headlights) these are pretty darn blue stock.

4300k is pinkish and is what manufacturers call "soft light". "White light" is 5800k and is what color daylight is. you don't really see blue until you are over 6000k.
