Replacement of original Xenon HID

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

Just sent my EX35 to first service at dealer and asked them why my original Xenon lights are so yellow. They told me is because Infiniti's Xenon bulbs used are 3000K.

I would like to know if it is possible to replace them for 6000K white ones. If so, which exactly bulbs should I buy?

I did some research and noted that OSRAM/Sylvania recommends HID D2S. Are they high and low beam, or single beam?

Couldn't find anything about original Xenon in the posts, only HID kits.

Thanks!

compared to 07' FX, EX looks yellower than FX. Both stock. I also want the Blueish white(Superwhite).
