Best to go for the 4300k or 6000k kits
An the bulb fitment is H1
The 8000k and above give out a blue tinted light the 2 I mentioned above are about as close to "Brilliant white" light as you'll get

Basically, the lower the number/temp is, the better the quality of light is, I have the 4300 and they are great 8)

I have the 6000k ones and they are great, the more higher you go i.e 12000k etc you go from blue - purple, and you will lose light intensity.

I would recommend the 6000k since you get the best of both worlds slight tint of blue and great light output :)
