Upgrading HIDs to 8000k D2R? Please help

Is there any way for me to upgrade my HIDS without getting aftermarket ballasts? is there an 8000k d2r bulb?

Ive read that if you want to use aftermarket HID bulbs you need these

to use the bulbs with your oem ballast.

You can get different bulbs and still use your oem ballast. Don't get 8k though.. that is ricer blue, I would say go with 6k at absolute max

^^^Co-signed. And the higher the Kelvin the lower the lumen so don't go by the color number when choosing.

stock is 4300K. that is the brightest output on the K scale. if you want to upgrade, but the output is important, stay within the 5-6K range.
