8000k HID BULBS INSTALL?
 

since the bulbs are xenon, i assume i can just upgrade the bulbs to a bluer color such as 8000k. is it easy to swap out the light bulbs or the bumper must be dropped? i havent picked up the car yet so i dont know? thanks

I'm pretty sure you can change them from inside the engine bay. I dont know if they are compatible or not.

Is this too bright? Wouldn't it melt your housing?

I thought xenons rancooler so it wouldnt melt your housing. I'd go 10k if you could, they look sweet!

The 8000k will be less luminous than the stock lights. 6000k is the brightest/cleanest. Also, heat shouldnt change, its the differnt kelvin level that determines the color

Yeah no joke! Is the side light bulb (#3) the bulb that is in the bottom reflector that stays on when the lights are on?

RE: 8000k HID BULBS INSTALL?
 

#9 is the light in the yellow reflector

What level of light am I thinking of that will melt the housing? I always thought anything over 6k would be to hot.
