H9 headlight help

ok,
i have just finished searching for about 3 hrs including research off site. i need some help finding some quality h9 bulbs in the right color. i have seen the piaas i found for over $100, not going to do that.

what i learned. hight beam is a h9. fog is h11. the kelvin temp is ~4300k. the silverstar (thought it would be easy) is not avaible in the h9.

i found a set of Piaa Xtreme G force H9 ~4700k. for $46.

i also found. http://www.hoen-usa.com/plus.htm
for $36 for the h9 and $29 for matching h11. both are ~4000k.

next found http://www.supremepowerparts.com/category/spr/h9.html

h9 $29 matching h11 $29 both ~5000k.

how important is the color??? is there that big a difference between 4k and 5k ??? and no i dont want the pretty blue (8K) lights to look cool. just want it all to blend.

any suggestions comment other brands to look at would be warmly recieved.

beers

Just to make sure I'm on the same page... you're wanting to replace your high beams and your fogs so that they match? Why would you replace your high beams if they're not used regularly and you probably will never see them "match?"

I have the stock xenon headlamps with extreme white fogs and it flows really well.

you got it right, but i do use my hi beams a lot. i drive between orlando and naples in the middle of the night in the middle of no where.

as to matching kelvin. i figure if i am going to replace them i might as well make them the same.
