The look truly HID without being overly colored.

Because your old TSX bulbs are old and have aged. They turn blue as they age (and they also lose a lot of output)

4300K is the most common OEM temperature, but some people don't like the straight white color it produces
6000K is the most popular temperature
It's not ignorance, it's "modern" in my opinion

Don't like to argue with vendors, but just because it's popular doesn't mean it's "modern." When it comes to HID, it IS pure ignorance and it's why so many blue glare monsters roam the roads.

You will also get some variance in color temp from one manufacturer to another. Especially when you go the cheap route.
I find that 4300K is not actually a pure white and will have a slight yellow tint. This will also be evident when comparing it side by side with a 5000K or 6000K (In person).
I've typically purchased the 6000K kits, but over the years, I prefer a 5000K color temp. It just seems a little more mature. To each their own.
I purchased a cheap interim kit for now, but the Morimoto Elite kit is on my wish list for next season.

You did use the right term, "mature." As the bulbs break in and mature they shift a bit and lose the yellowish of a brand new 4300K.

Is there any way to adjust the bulb to face it more downward, I'm also low and I still get people flashing there High beam at me.

I'm guessing you either bought a really crap kit that doesn't have the bulbs in the right spot, don't have them installed correctly, or didn't mess with the squirrel finders and you're glaring people to death. Lowering your headlights would just make you not able to see, which would be pointless when that's the whole point of a headlight...
