Nope.
The lightning cable for the iPhone 5 is 2.1 amp and older auto/ USB adapters that operate at 1 amp won't light the charging indicator.
Looking at my original iPhone 5 charger "cube", and the tiny little gray colored info says "Output: 5V = 1A" (except the bottom line of the equal sign are 3 dots)

If you simply install a regular 8000K halogen bulb and do a side by side comparison with a regular halogen bulb, both of same wattage, and aim it at a garage door from 20 feet away, you'll observe the regular halogen bulb puts out a well defined cut-off pattern. The 8000K bulb on the other hand would not have that same well defined cut-off pattern. You'll find light bleeding into the area above the cut-off pattern. This is due to light scatter at the higher color temperatures. Now if you switch those bulbs to HIDs of same color temps, the same effect is amplified due to the higher lumens (brightness) output. This means you will not only be throwing glare into oncoming traffic, but also with greater intensity.
I've been "into" HIDs/xenons for several years and have never heard what you describe. What is your source for this? I've never heard of anyone referring to halogens by color temperature, either. Nor does it make sense to me that the color temperature would affect the direction of the reflected light above the cut-off. But I'm happy to be proven wrong...
Ciao,
Check out the post by MIBagentQ in this forum: http://www.rx7club.com/canadian-forum-42/hid-lights-761233/
For halogen color temperature just Google, you guessed it, "halogen color temperature".

+1 on this kit for quality. This is from a VFRD member. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/60987-completedcustom-hid-conversion-kit/
With that said, just want to also point out that simply swapping in the HID bulb is not legal. Neither is going over the speed limit...

Conclusion, if you have the $$ and want to do it right, do a "retrofit". In fact, put together a kit and a step by step You Tube vid, and share/sell it here.
