Hi Ozz I see you have STI lights, so H1 for dip beam ( any colour you like) BUT don't get 6000 K or higher for Main beam, as the extra blue light produced is scattered by moisture in the atmosphere.... I find the "glow" very distracting myself, so 4300 K HB3 for main beam.
Pretty blue 6000+ K in the dip beam will look cool on the streets tho'..... IMHO
HTH

P.S. With my Hella 1000FF's HID'd up too I can see for miles, and miles, and.....

thanks for all the help i ordered h1 dipped main beam hb3 4300k today from bob aztec performance today
4300K on mine - also from Bob at Aztec, and fitted to my UK STI projector lamps.
I wrote the bugeye fitting guide which you'll find here if you do a search.
Cracking bit of kit - reckon you see about one and a half times or even twice as far as conventional bulbs. I hate driving cars with standard headlights at night now.
BTW - I was also told strictly speaking for an MOT test headlamp colour should be white or yellow so officially 6 or 8000k is a failure, but I suspect most stations will still pass em.
And you'll want some LED bulbs to go with em otherwise the standard bulbs just look wrong next to the HID's

Safe yes.... if the kits are any good, legal not really as the UK dictates that HID's need self-levelling and washers to be legal.
Mine are aimed just a fraction lower than std., and I can drop them on the adjuster.
Had PIAA's on my classic and then stuck them onto my bug-eye, now replaced with Hella 1000FF's with.... another H1 HID kit and they are awesome !
Mean to take some pics....
