I believe it's a P1 or a P2 there isn't both.

I don't think you can do much to make the lights brighter as the stock HID bulbs are 4300k, going any higher would only decrease your lumen.

I got my headlight bulbs from this seller. My fogs are 6000k but my headlights are 8000k from this seller.These matches the 6000k fogs I use.

You need basic tools like a screw driver,socket wrenches? The headlight bulbs are tricky to install. Find someone who knows some basics to help you with the install.I work on my own cars so I have no problem with figuring out things.
