OEM HID Lights

Has anyone changed their HID headlight bulbs to a 6000K or 8000k bulb?
Does anyone know how to do this? Also I know the headlight is D1-S, but what type is the HID Highbeams? Thanks in advance!

That's not much light at all for the 8000k. Too purplish.

I was going to suggest this site ... but No 8000k bulb.

I want the blue-ish look... purple is 10,000k. I know I am losing the power output the higher I go but im going for look over lighting performance...
