Bulbs are PnP. Remove housing, bulb, reinstall.

Also, 8k is lower light out put than 4300k.

5000k is closest to 'daylight'...if that helps OP.

In my opinion, 4300k has too much of a yellowish hue to it so I prefer 6000k.

I have 8k so I'm calling things black, BUT, it's only because I'm a ricer at heart.

- Oooooo pretty...just as long as you aren't putting a hood scoop on your hood then I think you're ok.

Same as this, except instead of replacing the halogen bulb, you replace the HID bulb.
