Convert to HID headlights

I wanted to install an HID headlamp conversion kit
Currently I have HALOGEN -- Low 55/high 65 watts; Dual C-8 filament
on a 2001 F150 4x4 Lariet Supercrew

The kit selection is asking me things I am unsure of

1. Bulb Size
2. 3000k to 12000k

Anyone can help me out with what this is asking
Bulb Size is H1 to H16
Thanks

Do not get a plug and play HID kit. You will have less light and blind other drivers.

If you want HID's, you will need to do a retrofit, and that is around $350 if you do it yourself.
