People replacing xenon bulbs often go for 6000 K bulbs, in the mistaken belief that a higher K represents more light when in fact it means a more blue light.
As human eyes are not especially well equipped to see light in the blue spectrum these bulbs are not very effective, and in fog or rain they are be downright dangerous.
Audi fits 4300K bulbs as this gives a warmer output for better vision.

If your headlights are rubbish it could be that the bulbs are the wrong K.
