Few questions?
Anyone replaced the stock D1S headlight bulb to aftermarket? I'm looking to get either 6k or 8k aftermarket bulb,and would like some feedbacks if possible.Also does anyone know how to get access to the rear license plate bulbs?

Also any recomedations on lowering links (company)?

Thanks in advance.

Never done the licence plate bulbs but it looks like you have to remove the trunk lid trim (the panel from inside). From behind you would find the bulb sockets and can replace the bulbs.
