i prefer the 4100K bulb as for performance and brightness. I like the 6000k's looks. yung 4100k medyo yellowish yung light pagtama sa road kaya better visibility compared to the 6000K which is extremely white. I am actually looking for a pair of philips d2s 4100k bulbs. btw. the color temp of bulbs increase due to usage/age.

performance:
typical 55w halogen = ~1000lm
4100K philips d2s = 3200lm
6000K philips d2s = 2400lm
so you can see 4100K is about 33% brighter than 6000K and 3.2 times brighter than an H4's low beam.

btw not all bulbs are created equal. I suggest going for name brand bulbs like Philips or Osram. another thing Philips hid bulb is just a little whiter than the osram bulb.

Question:

What is "lm"?

OT
Cool ride dude! I noticed you have Illinois plates on them, I did studied in Skokie once. :D

lm=luminous flux, measurement of brightness
