the Degrees K (7000K) for example is not a brightness, but rather a color temperature. The 6 and 7 thousand range is bluer (closer to purple). The issue is, the best light is at 4350k, which is what our HIDs burn at. This is the temp at which the bulb puts out the most lumens (light output). The best thing to do, is adjust the angle they are set to, because they are pretty much pointed at the ground from the factory

Not really. Different K rating means different colors. Seems like the higher you go, less light output.
