HID bulb upgrade

Has anyone upgraded the existing HID bulbs to 6000K? If so, any error readings or more importantly, did this create any problems with burning the existing wiring and/or melting the housing? Not sure if it burns hotter.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Todd

Which headlights do you have, halogen or xenon? If xenon I upgraded my stock 4300k to 6000k. No errors or problems with wires..

The bulbs for the city lights I bought them from a guy on eBay (http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/neondials/). I have the painted side markers with the oem bulbs on the bumper.
