5000k is the highest you want to go for headlights.

2 minutes of your time using the search function or google would tell you what bulb the HID's are

I have these foglights and they put out excellent light. I run them almost all the time because they light up the road directly in front of the car where the HID's fall short and in fog / rain *gasp* they actually make a difference

with as old as your HID bulbs are going to be, any brand new bulb will be MUCH brighter than what's currently in there. HID bulbs get dimmer with age. However, there are pretty much only two options if you want a hid bulb brighter than a stock bulb

4200k Osram SVS, the brightest HID bulb on the market

or the 5000k Osram CBI, the second brightest bulb, which is what I am currently using.

or the cheaper route is a stock replacement bulb.

^He is looking for direct replacements, not HID kits for NON HID car. He just wants to swap out his stock HID bulb for brighter one.
