Default How am I suppose to know which HID?

Hi guys, the car I bought came with HID's and it says 35 watt, and I dont know much about it, but I keep hearing things like 8000k etc etc. I dont know what brand it is or anything, as its all in Japanese. Also does anyone know how to take the two ballast kit things out, because Im planning on selling my car without them and installing them on another car.

35watt is the standard power the balasts use to produce power to the HID bulbs...4300k, 5000k, 6000k, 8000ketc... is the color of the light that is emmited...the higher the color temp is doesnt mean its brighter...the higher it goes the more it loses lumens as it gets closer to ultra violet light...4300k is the brightest and thats what most OEM hids are...some cars like the lexus rx330 or the nissan maxima use 5000k bulbs to reduce the ammount of glare...on a standard EG use h4 plug and play kit...i recommend using an upgraded harness
