HID Conversion Kit

I have done some research on doing an HID Conversion for my 2006 g35 sedan but I am still not sure of the details. I am currently looking at this:

http://www.xtralights.com/03-upinfin...itpackage.aspx

-Will this give me at least what G35 coupe Bi-Xenons have assuming I get the Fusion and Trade HID Kit ?
-Also would you guys recommend 6000K or 8000k?
-Plus I think the black would look really nice. any ideas ?
-Would I be able to just fit Xenons into the stock headlight assembly and what do I need for that ?

Thanks.

Are you serious? They are selling you a cheap halogen reflector housing with a cheap hid kit, glare and all. I'm fairly certain your car already has HID's for the low beams so your next upgrade would be projectors if anything. BTW, a housing a made to fit an 03-04 will not fit an 05-06 as they are not swappable.

Thanks for the info. I'm a total noob with headlights. So, good that I asked.
This is not my car but the bulbs for high and low look exactly like this:

Do I still have Xenons for low ?

I thought the bulb has to look something like the upper bulb in the picture below to be a xenon:

You can't see the bulb design in either picture but yes its fully possible to have a xenon bulb in a reflector housing designed for HID's versus a projector lens designed for HID's. There are also reflector and projector lenses designed for normal halogen use so you can't always tell just by looking at it. Looking at the bulb would be a dead give away and I can tell you right now that my 03 has factory 4300K HID's for the low beam. You can also tell by the actual light being output because halogen would be very yellow compared to HID and HID's also experience a visible warm up cycle during a cold start.
