have anyone experienced replacing their HID with higher K HID bulbs?
i had looked at my engine bay, there isn't much room to change the bulbs. there is a divider between engine bay and headlight area.
do i have to remove the headlight? or is anyone know how to replace the bulbs?
current stock hid is too yellow, i want it to be more blueish.

5000~6000k is about white.

Correct, 8000k is way too high in temperature which makes the light too purple and lost of illumination purpose.
6000K is the highest and anywhere between 5000k to 6000k is the best.
