I don't think that would help him. The 5000k is just another color, not brighter and the cutoff will still be the same height no matter what bulb you put in there.

Exactly. It has nothing to do with the aim of the headlight. The 5000k also has less usable light than the oem 4200-4300k.

Ditto. I would never run anything but the oem bulb in these projectors.

Swapping to a clear projector lense would brighten the lights quite a bit and sharpen the cutoff when adjusted/installed correctly.
