how do you swap the original HID lights with some upgrades
 

i have the original HID lights on my MS3 and they appear yellowish like a regular light. I just recently got some 8000k blue, lights and was wondering if any one know if it was ok just to swap an HID light with another HID light??

As long as it's a D2S envelope, I don't see why not? But you may be more disappointed in the 8K's than you think.
Thelumen output will be reduced over the stock 35w'ers.And you may experience greater eye strain on longerdrives too.It's a factof nature and of physics. (One in the same, really.)

What virgin1 said. 8000k lamps have a lower light output than the stock 4300k ones.

Is your MS3 the Grand Touring? If not then it did not come with Xenon Headlights.

Oooo, good question.

He said they are the originals and have a yellow output, so it must be a GT. Maybe if you google search it you might find instructions.

Just because he has a MS3 does not mean that he has HID's. The "Sport" Model comes with regular Halogen Lights (hence the possiblity of theyellowish glow he is describing) HID's are not available on the Sport package. The GT or "Grand Touring" comes with HID's as standard. It could be he is confused and has the Sport Model and thought that it came with HID's.
