From what I've read about these, you have to get a low-temp HID kit because anything over 6000k [I think] will melt it. I could be wrong, but that's what I found online somewhere.
What year model? They might make some for newer year models, so knowing the year could help.

I think the wattage which produces the heat is what you need to be concerned with instead of the color temperature which is an indication of the color of the lite.
