Philips Xtreme Power or Sylvania Silverstar Ultras are going to be the brightest bulbs that meet DOT approval. Blue color actually degrades night vision.

8000k an 6000k are the 2 best in my opinion of putting out the most optimum light. choosing between them is a personal choice

Halogens put out more light.
4300K is the brightest HID @ 3200lm. 6000K puts out about 2000lm. 8000K puts out about 1650lm, not much more than a halogen bulb.
And I hate to break it to you guys, but if you are putting these in halogen reflectors, not only are they illegal, but they are dangerous as hell; you are blinding EVERYONE. Florida is getting serious with writing tickets to people with illegal HIDs
