Please use the search function as this has been discussed many times, but I'll lay down some knowledge.
First of all, 6,000k bulbs are actually dimmer than factory. There is a reason why 4300k is factory because it has the most lumens and our eyes don't pick up the bluer color lights as easily and also they suck in the rain as it just reflects off of the road.
Second, all you need are just the bulbs. Because our factory system comes with HIDs to begin with, all you need is a D2R bulb (because you're 2005 with reflector lights and not 2006+ with projector lights) in 6,000k and just replace that.
xxbigluxx, it's as simple as just replacing the bulbs. You don't need to wire anything. If you've bought the proper bulb sockets, everything should go fine as it should fit the socket type perfectly and the factory igniter should lock properly onto the bulb.
I was just being nice, but guys, please use the search function. There is information EVERYWHERE.
