Default quick HID question

looking to upgrade the factory head lights this winter, first off i want to make sure that i have the right bulb type for these cars are H13/9008.. correct?
secondly, i would like to go HID, but i want to also change out the light fixture itself,
is it possible... to get an 8000k HID kit dual beam
found here:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/50W-H13-8000K-Bi-...713.m153.l1262


and at the same time get this type of headlamp installed
found here
http://www.stangmods.com/Mustang-Pro...ps-p/00412.htm

either way, if i can or can not, im going to do the HID kit. someone told me though in these cars that the stock light fixture is very big and will spread light all over the road..

thanks!

do NOT put HID's in projector lamps... you'll blind oncoming drivers. you're not really supposed to put them in regular fixtures either, but it won't be as bad.

i have the 8000k temp but am about to switch to 6000k. the lower the kelvin the more useable light and less of a bluish tint. i dont have any night time pics but here are some day pics

the 8k looks nice, i know right around 5/6k is the most usable light, but if i went with the 8k would there be a significant difference from stock?
