alright im looking to upgrade my lights on my Qx. The guy trying to sell me the lights said that as long as they're HID i can change to different bulbs like 6k or 8k. Is that true i can just change the bulb and it will be brighter?

Yep the Q's are all D2R single beams for the low beam HID. Eg' is correct. Make sure they aren't jacking up the price just because it is a D2R. Most suppliers should sell that bulb for what they sell the 9006 single beam for as they are grouped in the same manufacturing process. I am sponsoring a group buy with CA starting in November if you want to wait that long.

D2R 6000k bulbs. Anything higher, and the bulbs start turning bluish-purple with less actual light emitting from the bulbs.

If you look at my sig, those are rebased(9006 lows / 880 fogs) Philips D2R Ultinon 6k bulbs. I've had those on since I picked up the truck back in 06 and still going strong. Although I don't think Philips makes them anymore but plenty of other options floating around ebay if you don't want to spend too much.
