Exclamation Switching Bulbs

I am thinking about buying a 10k HID kit because i like the deep blue look....if i do not like the color of the bulbs can i use the same ballasts and just buy some other bulbs such as 8 or 6k's??

All you need to do it switch bulbs. Just make sure they are correct. As a bit of advice, I wouldn't go anything past 6000K. The 10,000K bulbs will defeat the purpose of having HIDs in the first place-- and that is to optimize light output.

aight...well i love the look that it gives the car when the lights are pure blue...it will still be bettere than the blue halogen bulbs that i have in it now....do you think that the projectors that my 95 gs300 already has stock will look very nice with HID's compared to retrofitting say some acura projectors or somthin?

The projectors in your 95 GS are halogen projectors. It would still work, but you won't see the full potential of the HIDs. Acura projectors are real nice. If you are contemplating doing a retrofit and want to make it easier on yourself, I'd probably find some HID projectors that are similiar in size to your stock projectors. That way, it will be easier to fit without as much modification as say LS projectors where you have to cut and sand down the area more for it to fit inside the housing. Try searching the user "JeffTsai," he is the king of retrofits and has some write-ups and photos with his projects.
