Yeah, any of those kits will work.
I don't really like the 8k bulbs, I'd rather the 6k, that's just me though. Just know that the higher you go, the less you'll be able to see (those are the show lights too). Our bulbs spew out a 4300-4500 temp light, 6k would be perfect, IMO.
Also know that there's not a really defined cutoff with our headlights, so you may have to point the headlight housing down a bit to keep from shining light at the oncoming traffic.

thanx for the ifo. I was wondering about the 6000K too i want the HID look though but as well as the light they produce. I like the blue ones and i am syure they will be way brighter than what i have now lol. what do the 6000K look like have you actually seen them in person are they just real real white? or do they have the nice blueish glow to them?? thanx again silver

My buddy has a set of 6k HIDs on his older body style WRX and they are super white and bright dead on but they also have a blue hue to them when looking at them from an angle....he was behind me during one of our local cruises and I couldn't help but notice them, lol. The 8k HIDs have a blue hue to them all the time, they are cool too, but the most important thing is aiming them because they are brighter. I can only imagine how bright they are compared to my Silverstars...and I used to get flashed with those! Lol.
You can also retrofit a set of projectors but they will set you back a couple hundred more. Projectors are overrated IMO, since all they do is project the beam by focusing the light straight on, in a smaller conical beam. Plus it's just a "cool" thing to have right now, I think....kind of like having a spoiler when that first became popular (ah, the good ol days [:'(]) or buying some Hyper Ground kits, etc.
Anyway, I say go for it. It's the best way to get a brighter light without retrofitting and retrofitting is the best that you can do for our headlights without creating a custom setup from another car's headlight.

Just make sure your wiring is sealed up to keep the weather/salt out of the connections...if you have to splice wires. If not, then no worries, just plug and play
