I have the Phillips 6k Ultinons and from experience...the drivers who purposely change out their perfectly good bulbs just so they can change the "look" of the headlights generally aren't satisfied by the 6k.
I say go for your insticts and get 8k like you originally wanted.
BTW...I changed mine since my bulbs were mismatched when my lights got replaced by the insurance company.

Stock is best output, 6000k is best compromise for output and color, and anything higher light output drops off quickly and so does bulb quality since the highest kelvin of the name brands is Philips 6000k (and they are only about 5800k).
BTW, yes, those bulbs on that website are low-quality, blue-tinted halogen bulbs.

The Phillips 6000K Bulbs, where would be the best place to purcahse it? I did a search on Yahoo for it, and came out with conversions kits for the cars but not the bulb itself. Anyone has any place in mind? Thanks!

When you do get the replacement bulb, you can just swap it with the old bulb? You wouldnt need to add anything to inorder for the bulb to produce the light it posesses? Thanks!
P:S Want to be sure about it, dont want to feel like a dumbass, better ask before doing anything, right?

you are looking at gas filled halogen bulbs. If you have a tl you need actual hid bulbs which are d2s or whichever the tl uses. These bulbs typically run 150-300 dollars each.
