yes as long as the bulb is a D2S bulb. I dont know why you would want an 8k bulb in the first place.

If your wanting a good output I would leave them. From a distance your headlights look blueish/purple anyways.

I ran an 8k setup for a while (see av) while you do lose output, IMO it's not that bad.With headlight's/fog's on a dark ass road I could still navigate just fine.(just headlight's visibility suffered)I drove my mom's accord with halogen's, now they SUCK ASS!!!! I did notice the difference when I went back to stock/3k fog's and now 6k but plan on running the 8k setup again in the future......
