Both the low and high beam on the X6 are Xenon!

The X6 uses D1S type Xenon bulbs. I think he just wants to change the 'looks'. The 6000k should give him a clear white look (the OEM lights are white but still have a small amount of yellow in it).

Did not realize that. In the past the xenons would not flash fast enough when flashing high beams. I guess they got it worked out.
Thanks for setting me straight.

Not sure if this will help you in your quest, but here is an 'exploded' view of the X6 headlight assembly with all its parts:
