The bulb rating is a kelvin number relating to color
Kaixen is excellent aftermarket brand
for the HID low beams on a TL/CL
4300 is stock
5000 a little whiter
6000 a little whiter with blue tint- excellent IMO for night and bad weather driving

3000 are very yellow output- good for fog, not so good for much else

Since the hi beams only add a little to the corners and up high view, a color matched to your headlights would be good, but anything works. Remember they are mere halogens while the lows are high intensity discharge lamps- totally different concept
