the 6000k, 8000k, and 10000k etc is just the temperature of the bulb, so provided it is the right bulb for the socket you can get whichever temperature you like. 6000k will be a light blue, and 8000k will be more blue, and 10000k will be even more blue, and once you get to like 12000k it will be almost purple. but be aware that as the temperature goes up farther away from 4300k it gets duller and duller, my 8000k low beams are nowhere near as bright as stock.

Chris how cheap is the kit and what brand is it? My friend bought one of those ~$30 ones on ebay and it worked great for him for years on two cars, I bought one and it died in a few days. Mine ending up not firing one headlight at all and I just returned it. You might get lucky though.

The only reason it should blind oncoming traffic is if you don't retrofit HID projector. Most people don't do that so even the 4.5k would blind oncoming cars. The halogen projectors the car has work somewhat, they at least cut the light off and don't let it really scatter.

Yes you can use any colored h7 bulb in them.

Make sure the bulb and headlight assembly are matched. HID and halogen bulb geometries are different, so the reflectors are different.

Difficult for me? No. For you? Well that depends on your skill level. You also could just replace the ballast, there is a thread here about that. The guy who started it is a real bad ***.

Well you should be able to handle it, it is really simple wiring. I suggest using the search feature though to get an idea of what is involved.
