Don't go higher than 6000K. White LEDs are actually about 5800-6200K, you can find them on the Escalade Platinum.

4100K-4300K is about the level of OEM HIDs.

My Gen 2's also have minor peeling on the driver side due to winter.

For road use, the best light output is 4100 (Or 4300) kelvin temp lights at 55W of power draw (Most kits are 35W, so you will have to look for a 55W kit).

For fog lights... 3,000K has the best fog cutting ability since yellow renders color the best.
