Your vehicle is already equipped with HID headlights. However if you want a blue look you will need to purchase a set of D2S bulbs... they are direct plug and play for you (requires no additional ballasts)

D2S is correct. Here's a chart with all the bulbs in your car.




Remember, the higher the Kelvin rating, the more blue or purple the light produced. Anything over 8K and lighting gets worse.






A great source for cheap, quality HID kits
