There should be 3 (I think) torx bolts to remove. Once those are out, the ballast pops out and you now have access to the bulbs. You will need D2S bulbs.

Simple. You need any D2S bulb.. if you are looking for a more blue colored bulb I would suggest a 6000k bulb.

The bulb connector style is a D2S just like tsx/s2k bulbs. Look through the bulbs and info on this site, they are hands down the best for HID components/bulbs and customer services. Try the morimoto 6k's I hear they are quite good.

They will not last long at all. And they will not look way better, they will perform MUCH worse than a quality bulb and likely worse than a hallogen projector at that point.


Im sorry I contributed to this thread. I thought you were seeking replacement bulbs for your ITR and were looking for better light out-put. Not that blue or pink color, ghey 16yr. old kid, fan boi ricer look.
