Default Headlights / Engine cover / Valve stem caps! Help?

Ok I've read so much stuff on here and still confused. what size should I be looking at for the regular low beams on my 09 tc.. I guess 5000k is what ill get since the consensus says 5k is perfect..and I would be getting a HID kit still right, not just replacing the bulbs?

Also, the engine cover I'm seeing can run around $300 from trdsparks. Is there a better person to buy from, ebay or anything? And is it just a few bolts or screws? I looked under my engine today and looks like just a few screws that can do it myself... Thinking of dressing up the engine a little, simply as possible for now, maybe a few hoses.. and so much stuff on here my head spins right round! ha... But I wont mess with hoses, afraid I'll take something off and it wont go back on, can leave that for a buddy to do that knows that stuff...thanks!

I did find somewhere on ebay the valve stem caps.. trd caps... for a few bucks.. anyone have them?
