You can simply swap out the bulb since your factory OEM light are HID's as well but they probably 4300k. BUT... one thing you may want to keep in mind is that when anytime you are putting some aftermarket HID bulbs and plugging them into the factory ballast... you may run into an issue with the bulbs causing the ballast to burn out. That can cause by poor manufacturing of the HID bulbs itself. It doesn't happen often but it does once in a while. And you know it is going to be expensive to replacement the factory ballast. So what I sometime suggest people to do may as well buy the whole complete HID bulbs with ballast. They range from $30 to $50 dollars. So you just install this without messing with the factory OEM ballast, JUST IN CASE.

Another thing I want to point out is that if you really want 8000k. The higher the number is the more blue it gets. And it also mean the lesser the brightness there would be driving at night. I use to have 8000k in both of my vehicle and they were nice to look at because they were blue. But it wasn't as bright as I want them to be, not even brighter then my stock factory 4300k. So I went and bought JUST two pairs of the 6000k and swap them out and I love them so much more. I still get a bit of blue with bright white.

So something you should think about.
