for the record, OEMs rarely use anything else except ~4300k bulbs. bmw sometimes uses higher k, but NEVER 10000k. I'd guesstimate around 5200k is the max that OEMs use.

It's not your car, so a retrofit is out of the question anyways, but be careful not to turn all your lights on at the same time, I dunno how your wiring would respond. think 20 or 30A at startup.

Never seen anything other than 4100-4300K in OEMs. Not in BMW, Acura, Lambo, Nissan, VW, GM, Ford, Chrysler, Jag, nothin. Could it be the projector's optical illusion of higher color temp that you're seeing? Your guesstimate just makes me wonder about it, is all Im saying.

OEMs never use anything but (nominal) 4200K.

No, they don't.

I know some older BMWs used Philips 85123 instead of 85122, but I don't know if the 123s were any different in color. I've heard that they're bluer, but I couldn't find a datasheet or anything like that.

There's also the 85122CM bulb, which is 5000k, designed to replace aged 85122s that had gotten bluer as part of the electrodes vaporized. But no car would come with them - only use would be if one bulb burnt out and owner was too cheap to replace both.
