the 8000K and 6000K just represent the coloring from what I understand as long as it's a d2r you should be alright.

Keep in mind that the higher you go on temp, the lower the light output is. I believe the stocks are around 4200k, so personally I wouldn't go over 6000k as the 8000k are more for looks and less for actually lighting the way.....

the only true 6000k bulb is the philips ultinons. anything else is coated and usually a cheap brand. at least make sure they are philips or osram bulbs if they are coated. personally i would just put philips d2s bulbs in. they will be brighter becuase there is no black coating on them. are you going for looks or light output?
