Has anyone tried replacing the D1S headlight bulb to 6000k?
 
I recently installed 6000k HID fogs and now it really doesn't match the headlights at all. I'm considering changing out the headlights to 6000k bulbs. Has anyone done/tried this? If so, anything to look out for? Thanks

I've done this. Not much to watch out for from what I remember other than the tight squeeze to get them in and out.

Although less functional in terms of lumens I like the output of 6000k better. Just looks nice and now matches my M :D

Can you tell me how you removed the headlight bulb? I popped the back cover off and released the little spring clip. Do I just yank the bulb out? twist? Thanks!

I can't remember exactly how I removed the bulbs but I think there was just a spring loaded retaining wire thingy. That just needed to be removed and folded back to allow the capsule to slide out. Opposite for install.

Thanks for the input. I'll give it a try
