Yes, you have to remove the entire headlight to change out the bulb because there are screws on the bottom holding the ballast cover.

well compared to a 6000K it is too white and if housing is bit old it has a light effect of yellowness.
Its ok, but i wanted to know if it can be changed from 4300k to 5000k or something near, I guess i need NEw HID headlamps, which is expensive oem honda.

You would have to remove the entire ballast from the headlight and remove the bulb, the bulb is a Phillips D2S bulb. I suggest you go buy the Phillips D2S replacement bulb on eBay as it's only about 60 bucks per bulb. Where as at Honda/Acura dealerships they run for about $80 and that's at employee price and it's the same Phillips bulb but in a small Honda box. I saw list price for one was $120
