The ballast are the same, they only differ for 35watt or 55watt.
The globes are what change in colour temp.
You can change out the globes for different colour temps at any time and keep the same ballasts installed.
4300k is OEM standard of BMW, Audi etc that come with HID lights. It is white with a slight yellow hue
5000k is white
6000k is white with a slight blue hue
above 6000k is usually illegal
8000k is blue
10,000k is a slight green
12,000k is Purple
The higher you go in colour temp, the less actual light output (measured in lumens) from the kit, so 4300k actually puts out the most light. I always recommend 4300 - 6000k only and 35watt for low and only 55watt for (single beam) high beam or spot lights.
