Default Alabaster Coupe Headlights

Hi Everyone!
(I wasn't sure which place to post this in; I drive a coupe so I figured here but I also noticed a Lighting section so forgive me but I posted in both)

I am new to the movement towards HID and I just want to be sure I have this correct. I know for sure, I won't be able to switch from my stock bulbs to HID bulbs myself so I certainly plan to take my car to a shop to get this installed, I just wanted to confirm a few things first.

I am interested in having my 2 lows and 2 fogs switched to HID. Do I simply purchase two of these kits (1) with H7 (low) bulbs and (1) with 9006 (fog) bulbs? (There are 2 other lights on the sides of the lows, like in the upper corners; I am not sure what they are called but do they need to be HID as well or are they fine as stock)

Also, I am having trouble deciding between the 5000k and the 6000k. My crossfire is Alabaster (White) so I am inclined to have my HID lights "white" as opposed to "blue-ish" I have heard that the 5000k is the BRIGHTEST but how bright? Is the 6000k a better option so I don't have to worry about blinding opposing traffic?

By the way, the plastic headlight covers seem to look really.....yucky. Like there seems to be some sort of condensation line on the inside of it. I have used one of those restoration kits and it did okay for the outside but that like is still there which I assume is on the inside. Is this something that can be cleaned or will I need to buy new ones?
