How much did you pay? And are you gettin Real HID's or fake ones? There is no part number really that you speak of unless you mean color temp.

if it comes with just bulbs its fake, but if you see 2 metal boxes and a whole lot of wiring its real.

the XXXXk is the temp of the bulb, this determines the color of the light you put out. most stock HID's are at 4300K, but it appears blue/purple-ish because of the projector housing ( IE BMW) if you want that blue purple color, you need something like 6000-8000K.

4300-5000K will give you the most lumens or light output. anything above that is just for bling. happy hunting.
