Default Xenon headlights

i was wondering if it was possible to change the HID bulbs to higher K rating, like an 8000k or something, without having to change the harness and stuff, im not entirely sure what K the S2000's bulbs are, but from what i've seen on kits i really like the 8000k HID lights.

thanks!

To be honest, I'm not sure. I would never do it though.

The cool color-changing effect from our headlights (mostly white to purple) is caused by refraction of the white light. If you change to a different (not pure white) temp, you're just going to have colored lights without any of the cool prism effect.

You'll wear out the factory ballasts quicker running a colour temperature in that range.
