Default Headlights/Foglights Question

I want to replace my stock bi-xenon headlights with a brighter look. I am thinking 6000K. Are there any recommendations on what brand I should be looking at AND is there a super-white bulb for my fogs that will look similar to the headlights without having to convert the fogs to HID?

2006 Audi A4 S-line 2.0T w/ stock HID 4300K bi-xenon

Correct me if I am wrong but I need D1S bulbs for my headlights and H11 for my fogs???

Thanks...

Default 4300K IS the brightest... If you want them to have more color then go for it, but you'll lose output

The Hoen Xenomatch fogs are a little more on the blue side than the stock 4300k HID's so if you put 5000K bulbs in your headlights they'll match pretty well

Default Agreed, 100%. Anything higher than 5k will look RICE let alone a diminished...

output of light.
5k is a good compromise to sharpen the whiteness of the light w/o too much output degradation.

Default higher k rating = less bright. i do, respectfully, disagree on the riceyness of +5K

i have 6k, and while a little 'bluer', they aren't ricey.
