After lots of research, it seems that 5000K, like what you are using as shown by your pictures. is probably the highest anybody should go. Above 5000K the light intensity actually starts to drop off a little and the intensity faced by oncoming drivers, especially seniors like many of us, becomes extremely irritating.
Good luck with your bulbs.

I'm not a big fan of the 4300K either as it looks like a incandescent flashlight compared to a modern high-quality LED flashlight.

What temp are the LED hi-beams?
I would really like to see a complete kit all in matching 5000/5500k, including DRL turn signal and fog lamp LED's.

Looks like another great product from Radio Flyer. I did the LED brake light conversion, all plug and play and well worth it. I didn't know the HID fogs came in 3000k, I will be converting both headlights and fogs in the near future...

Radioflyer Innovations is proud to introduce our C6 Headlight upgrade package. This package upgrades the Low beam to a 55w D2S bulb (4500, 5500 and 6500K colors are available) and the High beam is upgraded to a Cree XHP-70 bulb with over 6000. The result is a substantial increase in output particularly on rural roads and a decrease in eye fatigue for night driving.

Note: HID bulbs go through a color-shift during the first 10 or so hours of use. The 5500K bulbs will look like about 4800 to start then slowly color-shift towards blue until they hit their marked temperature. For this reason the LED bulbs will not perfectly match the low beams...at least to start.
