So the 6000k would kinda match the xenon's? Where can I buy them and how can I get them installed? Price?

I used use an HID kit made by Catz on my 2001 Infiniti QX4, it used H3 bulbs so I could retain the socket, but the wiring had to be changed as well as the installation of ballast and ignition modules. I think I paid around $300 at the time for the whole kit and took me around 2 hours to install. Now those were real nice, looked even nicer than the Xenon HID low-beams that came on the car.

Prior to that I went through a whole slew of H3 55w direct replacement bulbs and with the exception of PIAA, they would either burn out or shine a funny colour sooner or later.
