OEM HID Color Temp

I am looking for the OEM Color Temp for the HID Low Beams. Tried looking up data on my Wagner bulbs that are in there but didn't see anything on specs for the temp. Had a bulb burn out on me today and am ordering replacements, but I don't want to pick the wrong color. Seen one post that said 4300k is stock, but I have nothing else to confirm that.

4300K is the usual from all I have read over the 14 years we have been running HID headlights. When I upgraded to DEPO's with bi-xeneons they came with a new set of 5000K bulbs and I cannot see much color difference from the old lights.
I would not go any further into the blue end of the spectrum as it is counter productive.

Thanks for confirming that 4300k is the right temp. My bulbs will be here tomorrow.
