stick with an oem philips bulb,...you will be kicking yourself later when your "off brand" burns out a month or two later.

4300k is stock, is closest to daylight and provides the most intense (best) lighting. A higher Kelvin number (6000k, eg) is more blue in color and anything lower than 4300 is more to the yellow side of the color spectrum. if your goal is looks, then experiment. If your goal is to see down the road the farthest at night, then stick to 4300K.

No it will not bolt on or fit the the socket. Just like everyone has said. Swap bulbs around and see if you reproduce the same result.

well herees the thing i would rather replace the passenger side headlight anyway, theres some condensation in it. So a AP1 headlight with HID and Ballast would be nice. Plus SOHC i would only have to do the passenger side headlight
condensation... That might make it the ballast and bulb then.
