TL-S HID swap

I have a factory 08 acura tl type s. I want to swap my factory headlights, fog lights, and back up light to a better hid. I'm thinking like 6000 or 8000k. I am also thinking about change the yellow corner markers to clear.

Does anybody have an info to help get this started?
What is a good brand and/or kit for the light conversion?
I can't find ones that replace the backup, but I's there a set that will?

The highest I would personally go is 6000k. But when the time comes for me to replace my bulbs, I'll probably stick to 4300k.

Going to a 6000k or 8000k is a downgrade just to let you know.
The stock bulbs are very high quality with excellent lumens. If all you want is a little whiter light best way to go is the CBI bulbs.
