6000k Xenon Bulbs

Hello,

My car has bi-xenons, but i don't like a yellowish hue of my xenons. I believe that stock xenons have 4300k bulbs. I want to upgrade these bulbs to 6000k or 8000k bulbs. My questions is what is the type of bulbs a 2007 SL550 has and is it difficult to swap these bulbs?

Thank you.

Hi, you can try following link (interactive owner's manual)

(page 3 is where you want to look at)


Also another informative link regarding lights' temperatures / lumens, etc..

what's the best way to ensure that high voltage will not hit while changing the bulbs. Disconnecting the battery or is there an easier way?
