You should change both at the same time as they fade over time.
std lights are usually 4300k

pay for them in $ or there is a surcharge

Do you have the OEM xenon headlights or an aftermarket Pnp kit?? If you have the OEM lights you need D2R bulbs only. Bulbs from aftermarket kits are usually rebased for halogen reflectors so they won't fit. Anyway you should get OEM stuff (4300K).

There OEM's brought 2x 6000k D2R bulbs had a look at fitting but seemed difficult, looks like having to drop washer bottle etc, must be an easier way? whats it like removing the headlight itself? also will it be a problem fitting 6000k bulbs, was told by supplier that if will be ok

No problem fitting 6000K bulbs but you'll get less output than with 4300k. 6000 is just for look but not performances.

What problem do youhave: fitting the headlights or the bulbs in the headlights?

Advice about fitting please, theres not much room behind there, should i drop the washer bottle or would it be easier to take the headlight unit out on the O/S the N/S looks quite straight forward just remove the battery!

cheers
