Smile headlights

hey hows it going well i have a post up already on this but it seems like no one really was sure how to help me or at least there were people that tried to help me but didn't help my problem.
well the problem is that the headlights don't seem that great or bright. im positive that i have H.I.Ds but its not as blue as i like it. I have read that some of you all have some hella bulbs in yours but i was wondering what temp. ratings that you all have on there. i spoke to mazda about it and they said that they arn't going to warrenty any problems with the headlight at all if there should be a problem. My main worries are: 1) The headlight melting (looking to get 6000k) 2)the ballast itself shorthing out. Im not sure if thats possible or not but you could understand my worries being how expensive each of those headlights are. well any way 6000k is what im looking at getting and and what brand would be good. thanx alot for the help.

6000k will produce LESS light than your current 4200-4300k bulbs.

True. Keep the stock ones.

I think I've been having the same problem as you. I think it's due to the lights being adjusted to see farther down the road. This onlt occurs when it's dusk. At night they're plenty bright. In fact brighter than any other car I have owned.
