You do know those will have almost zero useable night output, right?

yes all you would have to do is replace the bulbs, but I'm with the above guy. 10k is ricetastic, get 5-6k at the most.

Stay away from the 10000K. I have 8000K right now and they're worthless at night and in the rain or snow. I can't even imagine how bad the 10000K would look. I'm switching to 6000K soon because of how much I hate the light output.

I love how so many people see a big number and think its all that matters. Its universal too:
  • Being 4th in the Big East Basketball is likely better than first in the MEAC.
  • 100 watt no-name stereo will sound worse than a and hign end 50watt.
  • A 3ghz processor computer could be slower than a 2ghz.
  • 2.0L 4 cylinder engine can be faster than a big V8.

Just stick with stock. 10,000k you won't be able to see at night especially when raining for foggy outside.

You could upgrade to like 6k, but it probably wouldn't be worth it.

Yeap, that's what you do. Change the bulbs it seld. The OEM ballast is already decent, no need to change that out, unless you're retarded.
I wouldn't get anything over 8k. 8k is already, wtf!?!?!
6k will be perfect for you! OR if you have the funds, get TSX OR S2k Projectors and use the 6k, that will be a balling and nice *** output for headlights on your car.
