that helps alot v. would this be a good choice as to a whole new housing option

As Paul said, that doesn't include housings, and you want to stay far away from 10,000k bulbs for the street. Will explain that later....

that looks like a complete kit right?

Look like they might be decent housings, I would just verify that they are HID projectors instead of halogen projectors, as the cutoffs are a bit different. Halogen projectors aren't terribly common, but they are out there.

My SS has an HID setup out of a 2001 Benz S600, so i have a ballast and separate ignitor box. I installed these back in like 2003, wayyy before HID conversions became common. Now its still the same except i switched from the Benz bulbs i had custom mounted to aftermarket bulbs (12000k/9006 version)

In reality, you should stick with a 4300k bulb. That is the closest to natural light, and will provide the highest light output. 5000k is also acceptable, but I wouldn't go any higher than that.
