Usually for best lighting, you should stay around 4100-4300k and no more than 6000k.. After 6000k, you will start losing lighting and wont be able to see as far as 4100-4300k...
And of course when you get new bulbs, you have to colorshift the bulbs (break them in) to actually show their true color...

actually, anything below 4100k is like halogen which would be a waste or $, but i've never seen any hid's below 4100k..

Supposedly "fog" lighting, but I'm sure you know that HID fogs is a contradiction in itself.
I'd get it for aesthetics, not function.
