Question on bulbs

Is there any other way I can change my stock HIDs to 6000k HIDS. Aside from getting 6000k bulbs? Cause I don't like bulbs because they burn out easily... Is there any other kind I can use... Maybe one of those bulbs for HID conversions?

Something like this but without the conversion kit, just the bulb used since the car already comes with xenon headlights:

What?? Do you or don't you have stock HIDs? If you have HIDs, then you can switch yours to D1S HID bulb 6000. If you have halogens, you can replace your halogen with xenon halogen 6000 bulb.

Yes I have stock HIDs, I was just asking what kind of bulbs should I replace it with. Thanks for the info.

And another question. Hows the life of these D1S HID bulbs ? Do they bust easily?

I installed German 8000k replacements to match my real HID 8000k foglights. Try to stay away from cheap bulbs and you should be fine.

Check the classifieds here. I got a good deal from a member. If not check Ebay for German makers.
