And no, the K's just represent color. It is actually believed that after you go higher than 6k bulbs, you lose visibility. The most I would say to go is 8k bulbs.

DDM Tuning is a website that sells HID bulbs for really cheap. Some have had good experiences with them, some haven't.

The higher the k the worst the visibility and some people have problems with there shipping. Personally I never have and ordered over 20 kits and bulbs from them. Took t the most 11 days to get to me. 12 k would be really really bad visibility but it's all preference . The site is ddmtuning.com

DDM had some serious issues recently that affected alot of members here. You can buy just the bulbs for $11 on ebay or the whole kit for $35. I've bought all mine there with great success Below is a reference chart you can use when selecting which color you want. 4300K is pure white. The higher the number, the more color the light is and less visible light output.

Ddm has never done anything to me so I won't say anything bad and there warranty is lifetime and they are very fast in turning around warranteed parts so I'd recommend them

uh what would i search it under in "ebay" ???less visible light output means, the light won't show more road ??? lol would you happen to know what the "stock tsx 10s" k's are ???

^^Correct! Yes the light is rated in lumens and kelvin. Lumens is the actual light output of the bulb. Kelvin is the color temperature that bulb is. For example 4300K has the most amount of use able light output and the Kelvin Color temperature is 4300K. Anything higher in kelvin temperature you will see a more bluish/purplish color with less light output.
I dont have a 2G TSX, but if it is D2S, just buy whatever color temperature bulb you want on ebay. You DO NOT have to buy the whole kit since your headlights are hid already. For example search "D2S 8000K" and set the search for "lowest price first." I recently bought a set of 8000K bulbs for my IS300 on ebay for $11 and couldn't be happier. Of course these have less light output than the OEM hid bulbs, but I personally wanted color over visibility for this vehicle since the foglights are very yellow. I guess its all in personal preference. Hope this makes sense!
EDIT: I'm pretty sure these bulbs had a 1year warranty also. The bulbs you listed above will cost another $10 for a 1year warranty.

Advanced
Actually they are a real pain to change based on where they are. Access is mostly from the wheel well while also removing things like the airbox etc. Some folks instead prefer to remove the bumper and lights to make the actual bulb swap easier.
