Thumbs down Why are my hids so weak?

Hey everyone, I right now am running 10000k JW Motorsports hids and to be honest I can barely tell the difference. I bought 6000k bulbs about 3 months ago and they were great, they lit up everything on the road. But I decided that I wanted a more blue "hue" to it so I ordered 8000k bulbs last week, after installing them I realized they they were identical to my 6000k bulbs I even double checked them to make sure that I hadn't gotten them mixed up, I didn't so fast forward 24 hours and I installed 10000k bulbs which are in my car now and at least now I can tell that they have some blue in them.

Do I need a ballast kit? A couple of my buddies are running 8000k bulbs in their cars and it's ridiculous how much of a difference there is from mine. Unless my eyes are just playing a trick on me or that I'm just colored blind but I think that there is supposed to be a little more to these lights. Anyways advice is appreciated and I think I might just sell my old bulbs now and try to make the ones that I have now functional.

Thanks
