the lower the number the more visible light. there are plenty of sites out there that show colors, 3700 is yellowish, i believe the same color as sunlight. may not be as visible during daytime/dusk, 5k white, after that they get deeper blue less light until they start to turn violet.
they take a min to warm up so no flashing high beams for any reason.
your light is gonna go everywhere in the stock housing, possibly into oncoming traffics eyes. a retro fit is the best way to go.
6K high and low beams. IMO leave the high beam stock as the HID's take a few seconds (up to 30) to get fully lit up. I wish I would have left mine stock as I really liked the "pass" switch.

Just use your starter button to flash to pass. Once bike is running it won't engage starter but will kill lights so you can flash to pass.
Once warm you can flash them all you want.
If you do flash they instantly relight with no problems.
To the op just get HIDs as their cost is same if not less than cost of just a xenon bulb.
riding with your high beam on can get you in as much trouble as not being seen. esp with hids.
