or do you guys reckon its best to buy a whole new headlight, something that is more easily accessible in the future? o.O
6000k should be fine as long as you're getting the correct bulb (D2R).Quote:

Thanks Symphorced, i will buy the 6000k =]
Anyway... today I had time to remove the lights and found out that the bulb actually poped! So i went online and bought a new set of bulbs so thanks for the help guys!
Also, just wondering.. As i was taking the bulb out, i noticed that the bulb actually doesnt sit properly on the socket? like the plastic area on the bulb is as big as the socket so it doesnt fit into it nicely... Is it normal? I tried many ways to make it fit it perfectly.. but it just doesnt fit?
The 2 metal pieces can hold it down though, but its crooked.... o.O
If they're the OEM bulbs, they'll be 4300K like all OEM HID systems.
If you only switch one side to 6000K, it'll not match the 4300K on the other side. So be sure to switch out both if you intend on going with different Ks.
Though, assuming you are running 4300K and you only switch one side out, one side will still be more blue/white compared to the other as HID bulbs get bluer over time. So if you're fussy, you'd probably wanna switch both at the same time and keep one as a backup.
Yeah i will do that... and bloody hell, i start to find this car is getting annoying..
Was testing out my light cause it was crooked and points down.. maybe cause i didnt fit it back in properly, AND NOW THE HIGH BEAM DOESNT TURN OFF! farrKkk....... been switching the lights on and off and flicking the switch back and forth many times, but high beam just doesnt want to turn off!
With the new bulbs you purchased? I know with aftermarket HIDs, high beam always stays on whenever you have your low beams on. I just de-pinned my high beam.Quote:

I read online and people say it may be the fuse... I dont know how to check that, might need to bring it to a mechanic -_-"
Did you turn off he high beam??
Yes the high beam is turned off. I've been flicking the switch back and forth to turn the high beam on and off, it still doesnt work, it just stays on high beamQuote:

Short answer is I don't know. But if you pit the left one back in and see if it goes back to normal. Since it started playing up when it was removed!Quote:
