It wouldn't hurt, so if you have it, use it!
Yeah being as you say an "HID GOD", it pains me to see people buy anything over 6000k for their cars. Uneducated people just don't understand the sacrifice you make once you leave the realm of OEM, all for the sake of color.
Good to see you're on the right track!

4300k is not a brightness level, it is the kelvin rating, and kelvin ratings don not equate output lumens.
But to answer your question most all OE bulbs that are 4300k, have the highest lumen rating out there.
You see, as you go higher in the kelvin scale ie, 6,000k/8,000k/10,000k you lose actual light output drastically. Even the drop in lumens from 4300k-6000k is considerable.
The only thing you get with higher kelvin rated bulbs is a change in the color out the light that is output underneath your cutoff line. Not lighting power, but simply a different color hue.
Hope that helps.
