The color of the light doesn't bother people, it's the aiming. 25lumen flashlight hurts if you shine in in someone's eye. The reflector design of the lamp housing that most incandescent-based vehicle use works well with any type of bulb.

After having OEM HIDs in a couple vehicles in the past, I miss their performance on my current vehicles. I used OSRAM Nightbreaker Plus in my Suburban for about 2.5 years which were very good, but bulb life is about 15 months and it's a little bit of a hassle to change them. I just went with Kensun HID conversion kit a month ago with 2-year warranty for $40. The amount of light seems to be higher than the Nightbreakers. I picked 5000k color temp which is white. So far I am very pleased with them.

Another good idea is to polish the headlamp lenses. They take a beating over the years with sand, rocks, etc. Clean and polish the plastic will improve the optical clarity.

You're happy with 5000 Kelvin color temperature, but everyone else on the road with you is unhappy for miles after you encounter them. For proper night vision, headlights should be in the 3200-3500 Kelvin range.
