Just replace both bulbs with D2S or D2C bulbs. The color preference is your choice.

The stock is 4300K, which is yellowish. Some members here run 6000K, which provides pure white with a little blue hue. They look awesome!!

Most popular brands are Kaixen, Philips and Xetronic. The Kaixen vendor is one of our vendors, you can find him here: https://acurazine.com/forums/sponsored-sales-group-buys-10/kaixen-hid-replacement-d2c-bulbs-new-price-394988/

Our stock bulb temperature is 4300K (pure white). Anything lower than 4300K will look yellowish. 6000K will have a hint of blue to it.
