Stock bulbs are incandescent and are more in the 3000K range, 4300K is what most OEMs use in HID in lexus, bimmer, benz, etc. A 5000K is a pure white light and is arguably one of the brightest and cleanest looking colors out there.

As far as heat, the HID create MUCH less heat than a conventional bulb because they are so much more efficient. No worries on heat issues.

Hope this helps.
