10000K is obscene. They look cheesy and you're not going to see a damn thing at night, especially if it rains. You really shouldn't go any higher than 6000K for any sort of functionality. 4300K is the stock color for factory HIDs, and you're in projectors anyway. If you want function, go 4300-5000K, if you want some more color, get 6000K, anything beyond that is silly, IMO.

Any aftermarket HID kit is legal for off-road use only. Unless it came with the car, it's illegal... however, if you deal with glare and keep the color temp reasonable, you'll likely never have problems.

no need to take the bumper off. just put ur hand in where the light bulbs are and twist cc and u'll get it out. if it's difficults, then use a tool or something and it should come out. remember to twist counter-clockwise.
