Sounds good..

When the bulbs from retrofit source didn't work, they are sending me some new ones. He recommended these in 6000k, RIGG : HID : 35W ??????????? ..
Yeah I know it's in Japanese.. I should be getting them today.. If I install, I
will take pictures..

Thanks for the advice guys .. I just swapped out my headlight bulbs without having to remove the tire or jacking up the car .. It was a tight squeeze but got it done.. This write-up was most definitely helpful +1 Rep

see post here for my bulbs.

Im installing 8000k Deep Blue HIDs on my car today. Done with the drivers side. As far as taking off the front wheels is a must. I tried doing it with the wheel turn method and was epically failing. :ugh2: As far as removing the grey housing and bulb itself its really easy. Ill post up pics after im done. BTW i got the same bulbs the member Westwood has on his Z.

P.s. Hope the police around my area arent to anal bout my lights. Such a PITA just to swap headlight bulbs lol. :ughdance:

8K, how much light output did you lose? Is it very noticeable ?

I have changed the headlights out in my car about 6 times so far and I can
assure you that it can be done without taking the wheel off..

Example, If I'm doing the passenger side, I will turn the wheel all the way left.
If I'm doing the driver side I turn the wheel all the way right. That gives plenty of room to pull back the fender liner and change the bulb. I don't remove the fender liner entirely just peel it back enough to get hand in ..

i found it easier to leave the wheels straight. and just jack up the car on the side you are changing the bulbs on (with the supplied jack on front jack point) to let the wheels hang lowe. I have a lowered car and this works well for me, more than enough room to work.

You slightly lose a little light output, but the cool thing about the lights I got is that when it shines on the white markers and signs on the road it gives this glowing effect to it. So technically it enhances your view in my opinion. :tup: The color and look of it is perfect since I got the MB Z.

I just received my Philips Ultinon bulbs and installed them. Did not remove the wheels but I jacked up the car slightly. Can't wait to see how these new lights perform at night.

Left: 8000k Deep Blue HID
Right: Stock HID

Gotcha, my car is factory height, no jacking up needed.. Still tight but can be done..

Damn, that's a huge difference.. !!!

hahaha... yeah it is but its great driving down a dark road (especially a highway) and the white lane markers and white on signs glow at you. Feel like im in Tron. :tup:

So here's my input on Philips Ultinon 6000K bulbs. The beam pattern is identical to stock, no more yellow tinge to the light beam, and it's pure white; no hint of blue at all. The high beam will suffer noticeable loss of throw when compared to stock 4300K, but you'll still be able to get by. I do notice my driver side bulb upon start-up flickers two times to a red color, and I assume it's the red burner core (unique to Philips) that is being vaporized inside the bulb casing upon warm up. I don't think this is the flicker problem people are facing when the bulbs fail to ignite at all.

Overall, good investment and the lights add positive aesthetics.

Thanks for the review.. Now we need some pics !!! The bulbs will colorshift after a while of being on .. Probably get a tinge of blue in them.

I bought some 24 dollar 6000k's from ebay and they have been working just fine for about a year now. never a single mis-fire and they have never failed to ignite. just fyi.

not sure on the brand.
