I got an 8000K Conversion kit for both my hi and low beams.Its got a "tint" of blue..well a year has past and now i want to get the color up to 10,000K.

if i purchase the 10K (BULBS ONLY) would it work with my existing ballasts???(I want the color more blue 'cuz my A/C is blue)

Thanks for the help.

No phobs is right...The connectors are pretty much universal for the aftermarket HIDS.

Be careful with the 8000k's (don't touch the bulbs) and sell them to someone on the board with 6000ks that is looking to go blue-er then they are already.

Yo, I'm having an issue with my HIDs on my Passenger side. I believe it flashes on for a millisecond and then goes off, or if my eyes deceive me, Maybe the bulb is fried? I got the kit today and I'm pissed it's not working correctly. I've heard Xentec has these issues but too late I already bought it. I don't trust the warranty because I NOW have heard horror stories about people not getting their money/kit back. What should I try?

Did you try swapping out the bulbs to make sure that is the problem? If it is, I would contact the seller and have them send you another bulb.
