Does anyone know where i could get some stock HID bulbs for my head lights? How hard are they to install?

I noticed my headlights are 2 different shades, One kinda blue and one more white. I know not a huge deal but if it was easy enough i was going to swap in some new bulbs. What "K" are the factory bulbs?

100% incorrect. 5K and 6K are more blue, 4300K is white. You can get them for a good deal from Parts Geek

Don't go 6k. They sure look nice and white-blue but the decrease in usable light output is noticable and not worth it. Ideally, you should get a philips or osram branded bulb instead of generic aftermarket due to reliability.
