Define "perform"?
They "perform" the same since they both run at 35watts. 4300K HID will always be brighter then 6000K HID. 6000K is like 10-15% dimmer then 4300K if you want to get technical. 8000K is even worse its almost like 30-45% dimmer then 4300K.
His is D2R HID which is 2800 lumens if your is a D2S then you'll be at 3200 lumens. Also HID does color shift that is why 4300K does get a bit bluer over time. Also it gets a bit dimmer over time. If both HID was brand new his would be brighter then yours.
