Default Upgrading HID's...not converting.

Ok, so I made a thread on this before, sorta, but never really got an answer. I'm going to be upgrading my HID headlights from the factory 4300k to 6000k, and really can't figure out how to do it. Is there a write up anywhere that I just can't find, because, YES, I have searched and cant really find anything other than conversion how-to's. I've gotten as far as taking the headlight out, and unhooking all 3 lamps, but after that I am stuck. How do i get to all the connections inside the headlight assembly? Any help is awesome.

Just curious as to how going from 4300k to 6000k is an upgrade?

hey skip, you can get a tamper proof torx bit set from this Tools Plus. I just saw one there last week when I bought a T-8 to use to replace my armrest. The tamper proof torx set it made by Lisle or something. Checkhttp://www.tools-plus.com/ ifyou can find it there. I know they had it at their store. why do you need this for a headlight tho?
