It's the colour temperature.

4300k is the factory temperature.

6000k is the most popular for aftermarket as it's a bit bluer

Anything above 6000k is chav / ricer / gowl territory imo!

Yeah, that's an old question there are a good few threads about hids in angel eyes on here

I think the story is that the manufacturers say on the box don't use HIDs, but ppl do it anyway. It's your own risk
