Are you looking to change the color of the bulbs? As Kris said the car already comes with HID's. If you're looking to change the color you want something like this:

Nothing is brighter than stock. You will start to loose usable light even with the 6k. Id stick with Excelerates 5k

Technically the stock bulb is the brightest at 4300K. HID bulbs deteriorate over time and do lose brightness. If you're looking to stay as bright get 5000K, 6000K has a tint of blue in it and will be pretty close to OE in terms of brightness but to the naked eye it will actually look a little brighter than the 5000K.

I need to upgrade also. what about the different types of lights u can get? There are a lot of different light systems on ebay which one is right? there are the ones that you just change the bulb. Or there is the one that comes with a box that you have to hook up also

Oh there is a fascination. Look at over 90% of the HID threads (including this one post 6). Every wants something blue.
