Default 2011 HID/LED Headlight Question

Hi,

Just curious regarding the 2011 cars, what type/kind of LED lights is being used in the HID housing? Just curious if the lights inside them could be changed out.

Since the stock LEDs are 4300K I believe, one could change it with like 6000K LED's inside correct?

If anyone has installed the Sewell 2011 LED kit for Hagloen equipped cars - is there an issue with the auto setting with the LEDs or it works fine?

Thanks

^ I'm sure it's possible, but few people are chomping at the bit to bake open their brand new headlights to figure it out.

I'm thinking of getting the Sewell kit but would like to know ahead of time, so if it is possible, can get the lights and bulbs in one shot.

Probably easier with someone with the kit since it would be in a box and not in the car.

^ Make sure to catch a glimpse of the thread with the current "bubbling" defects happening with those headlights. Just a heads up.

Added additional question up top of the original thread.

Has anyone installed this kit on a vehicle with Halogen? (back up top)
