DY2 - great comparison photos above. That mirrors exactly my findings.
When I changed to the 5000Ks after the 6000Ks, I thought they looked really quite yellow, and noticeably different from my LED sidelamps too. However, as the sidelamps are literally only for show, and the mains are for business, I'll leave it as it is!
Quite a while ago now, when I fitted the LED sides, I also fitted 100W 'xenon' H7 full beam lamps. Although they are a result in terms of being a similar colour to the HIDs, I can't say the extra 45W is noticeable. I was also concerned that the extra current might cause issues, but I'm happy to say that has not proved to be the case.
