    Default HID question

    I have aftermarket 8000k HID's in my car now. If I installed new 10000k bulbs in would they be compatible with the 8000k ballast I have in now, or would I have to buy a whole new 10000k HID kit?

    i'm pretty sure all you need is the bulb. They all provide 35w or 55w so it should work. But i'm not sure, ask nitro and get it from him.

    as long as your connectors are the same you'll be fine with just changing bulbs........
