since you already have HID lights all you need to do is upgrade the bulbs. The most popular ones here seem to be Nokya and Kaixen. Check out the group buy page here on Azine. There is usually a group buy going on for the Kaixen bulbs. If you are looking for a blue look get the 6000k rating. That's what I got for my 07TL-S and I really like the way it looks.

Here is the link to the groupbuy: https://acurazine.com/forums/sponsored-sales-group-buys-10/kaixen-hid-replacement-d2c-bulbs-new-price-394988/

Depending on how blue you want, you might want to stick with 6000k - 6500k, any higher you will sacrifice visibility.

as Tripn mentions you dont need to go with Kaixen's. They are popular here because they are so cheap. Personally, I am disappointed with their output, i'll probably upgrade to some philips in another month or so

yea the only thing thats disappointing about the philips is the price but they are well worth the it. ebay actually has like a guy or 2 selling them and they are both along the same prices.....and in order to tell if its a real ultinon is by the sulfuric/mercury residue on the inside of the bulb....it looks like a blood spot. red when the bulb is off.
