There are 2 sets of Blue H13 headlight bulbs i am looking at to purchase. I just need to know which set is the better of the two. The first set are 80W/100W with 6100k color temp. The second set are 90w/100w with a 5000k color temp. Which set would be better based on the wattage and Color temp. If you need any info let me know.

If your current lamps are 55 or 60 Watt, you will fry your wiring if you haven't upgraded it. You are talking about almost doubling the amperage.

well they are very close one has a 80 w low beam the other a 90. The 80 w one draws less current from your alternator and produces a brigher light. The higher the color temp the brighter the light. Full sun day light is about 5000 so the 90/100 is more then likley labled "day lighter" but the other bulb is actually brighter and uses less power.

Depends on your driving habits. If you do normal night driving the 80/100's will do fine and require less energy to feed them.
If you plan on a lot of long distance night driving then go to the higher lamps.

I presume this is for an off-road vehicle. There would be very little practical difference in what you could actually see with the lights. Neither set is legal for road use.
