I'll still help though, ballistic said it right with 4300K rating. Stock bulbs are DS2. High beams are 9005. Fogs are H11. I'm not sure what the turn signals are.

ok, K is the rating of color, 4300k is pure white, the color u usually see on BMWs a such is actually the project refracting the light into a blue color at the cutoff line, 6k is blue 8k is purple, technically, HID must be stock on the car to have em cuz of the cut off, 6k -8k give off tons of glare and have NO USE FULL LIGHT (WORSE THAN HALOGEN), 6k is what most people use, i perfer 4300k cuz of pure white, no car manufacture can use anything over 4300k becasue that is the "legal" limit, colors higher than that cause glare and distract other drivers. WHo ever told you 8000k doesn't know ****, and dealer don't know **** to begin with

Stock Evos run Osram 4,300K's. If your looking for a good upgrade try the AdvancedOptik D2S bulbs. They come in 5.8 (5,800k) and look awesome on the Evo. I recommend these over the 5.1 (5,100k).
AdvancedOptik bulbs are not tinted and did not reduce light output on my car at all, if anything it seems brighter and longer road coverage.
Check the How To, a few guys have installed them on here.
HID bulbs are D2S fitment for Evo.
