Check out Daniel Stern lighting ( google him ). He provides honest information about lighting. There are many sources for after market lights. Beware that you actually have worse night vision with the blue or whiter, higher number lights than the stock lights. You may be better just getting the 2006 lights.

There is no such thing as replacement bulbs that are brighter than your stock 85126+ d2r bulbs. If you need more light, a projector retrofit, 06 headlights, or 50w ballast/bulb conversion are your only options

Increasing the color temperature decreases the actual brightness. I think the standard mantra is a 6000k bulb takes your actual lumen output (brightness) down 25% compared to the stock 4300K bulb. I don't even know what the 8k and 10k bulbs decrease by.... probably 40-50%

you will lose light output if you go 8000k or 10000k... the brightest is stock 4300K
