H.I.D Lighting questions!

hi!
I have a couple of lighting questions!
1. can you do 55W conversions on the 2nd gen sedan
2. how much would it cost
3. I have L.E.D running lights that are about 5500K would 6k or 5k look better?
does anyone have any photos with 5-6k bulbs in (35 or 55w is ok) thanks!

I know it's like a month later, but I can help you a bit.

1. Yes, but you need to replace the ballast as well. Not sure how you would go about doing that since it's hard wired into the stock wiring.
2. You can probably get a kit off Amazon for <$50.
3. US models don't have DRL, but I can tell you the difference between 5000k and 6000k is only a slight blue tint. 5500k would be really close to both.
