Whereas I'd ALWAYS advise owners to buy no MORE than 5000K.
The OE ones fitted to most cars are 4300K...are THEY yellow? Nope.
And THEIR bluish tinge comes NOT from the colour temperature, but from the diffraction patterns coming from the projector lenses. Do some research, you'll see.
Secondly, as colour temperature RISES, the actual brightness gets less. Above 6000K they are no brighter than a decent halogen.
If you want a decent kit, and remember that the blobeye uses TWO bulbs, one for dip, one for main beam, so you'd need TWO kits for a full instal, I'd bear in mind the following:
DO:
buy no more than 5000K,
buy branded goods if you can, Hella, Philips, Morimoto are all good,
ensure the bulbs (burners) are fitted accurately,
ensure that ballasts are fitted so as to be protected from water ingress,
fit all wiring SECURELY and carefully, taping up any joints, plugs etc.
DO NOT:
buy any more than 5000K,
buy cheap...you'll regret it,
buy Chinese, far eastern, or Eastern European copies,
try out the bulbs except in pairs, (they will "burn in" a slightly different colour
)

Have a look at my setup:
