HID Help?

Hey everybody! As you know long freeway driving at night sucks, and not having the xenon's sucks even harder, because the halogens that come stock with the W212 are crap. I want to install HID's but have not the slightest clue on what brand to get, on top of that, there are numbers, like 4300k or 5000k and I have no clue what these mean. Anyway could you guys recommend a good HID manufacturer? and what number of HID im supposed to get to kind of match the xenon's. on top of this, would this cause any warranty issues? Anyway thanks in advance guys!
