Are the 4300s yellow or not quite? I'd like to avoid that while still getting good lighting.

4300 is the equivilent of the Halogen color.
3000k is the yellow you see ricer civics with. Before you go on and label yellow lights rice, the yellow in those lights actually help you see better at night. Long story short, you will see a lot more stuff at night, moreso when it rains as yellow does not reflect when it is raining.
As far as high beams with HID....don't do it. It's really not worth it. The problem with this is that HID lights aren't turn on and go, they need to be heated for them to work. This would negate the need of high beams in situations such as flashing someone or using the high beams for 5 or so seconds to get across a dark spot. Instead, I would recommend you get HIR lights. They're made by GE and are twice as bright as normal halogens.
Your high beam bulb is 9005, not 9007 as someone said. 9007 is the dual light that can be used in a single housing Stock Grand Am's come with 9007 whereas the Alero uses 9006 for the low beam and 9005 for the high.
