i believe that the stock TSX bulbs are hyper white. the brightest most effiecient in visibilty. anything higher then this will make the bulb color be more blue/ purple which lowers visibility. thats the only major downside. the loss of visibility.

I went with 6000K. Very clear white light. 8000K is already too blue for my taste (and the higher you go in color temp the less usable light). Here's a pic :
