Get these if you want to be buying new ballasts every month.
color temperature has nothing to do with the ballats. they will last just as long as the ballast on oem bulbs.

the light output however will suffer greatly.

It is actually more likely that the 12,000K bulb will die prematurely(or any aftermarket bulb >6K). As much as it takes to change the HID bulbs in the S I want mine to last as long as possible!

If you insist on changing out your HIDs, which I think the oem HID on this car are some of the best on the road IMO, then go with 6k, but not any higher. That is a good compromise between color (I assume that you are looking for a blueish/bright white) and actually lighting up the road. Any higher then 6k and it will be like driving with halogens, not HIDs. Also, isn't 12k purple in color? , which would light the road like sh*t.
