Default HID Bulb Upgrade

Looking to replace/upgrade my HIDs. I'd prefer a light blue, probably around 6000K. Any suggestions?

DDM Tuning or VVME are good and using the search works as well this was just covered the other day.

I recently switched from VVME to DDM after going through 3 ballasts in as many months and trying to deal with VVME's terrible customer service. DDM is much higher quality stuff IMO, plus the slim ballasts are much easier to fit under the hood

Excellent, thanks for the replies.

I've been toying with the idea of modding my interior lighting as well. Specifically, I was thinking of swapping out the stock lights for red colored bulbs or LEDs.

Does anyone know what kind of LED lights are compatible for our cars and/or the best place to buy them? I know LEDs are more efficient and give more light, but is the added cost worth it or should I just stick with colored bulbs?
