Default Is there a change headlight DIY upgrade to 6k bulbs?

Searched around for a while, thought i had saw one but not listed in the FAQ's mod thread? I am finally putting my fogs in today and wanted to know if there is a specific way to change the headlights without removing the bumper and how to disassemble the headlight.

I think the 6k will provide a difference with the daytime running light, the all 4300k blends to bunch and doesnt show off the L as much at night..yea i know trivial but.. its the small things that make a difference to me
no fogs.. here is a pic i know you guys like pics..

The headlights on the left side u can take you wheel off or turn it all the way to the right and there is pocket there with a screw, so take the screw out and you will see the headlight ballast and u have to twist it and it pops right off, and make sure you put it the way you take it out, look at the notches on the bulb, only one way u can put it or else no way it will sit correctly.
The one on the right side is much easier to do , take the plastic cover off that covers the side all the way on top of the headlight and then take the cap of the headlight and its right there, that one is so much easier and more hand room to work with, same way make sure the u put in correctly or else it wont fit, good luck.
