1. Do you have OEM HIDs on the low beam? from what you stated above (D2S) I assume the answer is yes, and that leads to the next question...
2. Which lamps do you want to upgradeto HID? Fogs? High beams?

The OEM HID low beam colour is 4,300K ... If you want something brighter then you can go to a higher colour temp ... check the pic below from EAS website...



Color Temperatures
Higher temperature does not mean increased light output. Color temperature is a measurement in Kelvin (K) that indicates the hue of the light source. All HIDs are so bright they are gauged to sunlight and the color that the sun will be at that temperature. As the color temperature increases, the light output of the HID is reduced.

- 10,000K = dark blue (less visible light more color)
- 8000K = blue
- 6000K = blue-white
- 5000K = white (peak light output)
- 4300K = white (peak light output OEM color temp)
- 3000K = gold-yellow (yellow)
