HID's Question

I want to go to the 6000k HID's. Can I just change the bulb to achieve this or do I have to replace the ballast and bulbs from like DDM?

Thanks for the help guys.

The stock 'color' is ~4300k for a reason. You might think the blues and purples look cool but you're actually greatly reducing the usable light output. That means you can't see as well as with the stock lights.

I went with 6000K. They look way better. But I need to adjust them up some. Is that hard to do since they are self leveling?
Are the fog lights HID also?
