The factory lights on the 2013 are something like 4200K-4300K, I think. A good upgrade would be to find some 4500K-5000K bulbs. I know there is a guy on SVTP that put 5000K DDM bulbs in his car, but I never saw a picture. What sucks is that not many people make D3S bulbs in other colors...

I bought some HID's from a shop for my gf's MS3 and he tld me they were 4300k. Got home threw them in and those bitches looked like 6-8k! I figured id take them back the next week and swap them. Just so happened it rained before I could get them back. She drove my car everday it rained.
