I believe 5000k is a color rather than a degree of brightness.

Is it not lumens that defines brightness

That's right. 5000K is the colour temperature in degrees Kelvin, and it is Lumens (also Candella) that is used to indicate the brightness.

The colour temperature is what gives you either a blue/white or yellow colour, sometimes indicated as "bright white" for blue/white, or "warm white" for more yellow.

Get the Ziza LED Parkers from ecs, I got them on mine with 5000k HID and the colour almost matches, If your HID's are brighter than 5000k I think it would match up pretty good.

5000K is the colour temperature, *not* the brightness.

(It comes from the idea that if you took a matte black object and heated it to, in this case, 5000 Kelvin (or around 4727ºC), this is the colour that the object would glow).

Thank you for explaining that to me, now i know

You could also use Polarg B1 Hybrid bulbs. They're pretty close in colour and they spread light more evenly than leds.
