Do you already have HIDs and are just repalcing the bulbs?

If you want the brightest than the answer is the OEM ones (4000-4300K) I believe 4500K is the perfect bulb as it is 100% white.

If you go higher on the Kevlin (color) scale, why it may look cooler (White > Blue > Purple) they will put out less light.

I'd swing for some Phillips 85122+ bulbs, they take longer to color shift.

i think 5000K is just about as white as you can get.
