He can decide for himself. Look at pictures, see what the headlights look like from an onlooker perspective, check out cutoff pictures etc. etc.

I took these pics and these videos tonight. One is of the warm up of 5000K's in 08 projectors, and the other is me driving home down the street so you can see what it looks like from the drivers POV.
enjoy!

4300K has an approximately 3100lm output, which is more than 3x the light output of the traditional halogen light and is the color temperature with the most output. The light appears fairly white, and has light yellowish hue when reflected off the road identical to OEM HID equipped vehicles
6000K has an approximately 2900lm output, which is 3x more the output of the traditional halogen light and slightly less light output compared to the 4700K. Although it has a bit lesser light output, it emits pure whiter light with a slight tint of blue.
