if you upgrade to bluish color. That's around the 8k range. You will actually lose light output. If you are going for most light output, you'll want to stick around the 4300-5k range.

your 06 is about as bright as youll get them i think. The higher you go the blueer purple they will look and less output.

Here is one solution and you get to keep the same bulbs and therefore light output is the same and with a blue cut off

have you looked at your car from far away? the projectors make your headlights look blue until you get up close. In my opinion the headlights are already perfect. They maintain a white/yellow output around 4300k which is how you get the most light output(see the best) but to oncoming vehicles as they approach you because of the projectors the headlights change color from blue to white.
