SophiaZ, there are different brands to choose from, use the lighting scale as a guide to choose what you prefer as to brightness..

agree.

If you need something a little more bluish (less light output), 6000K should be good. I believe some members here run 6000K bulb.

Good thread to read http://www.the370z.com/exterior-inte...hts-8000k.html

remember, the more color, the less bright. that's why most factory HIDs are in the mid 4's

jacked some good info heh

Sacrificing function for image is kinda ricer BTW. Your car, your choice..

For me the output is more important than the color. I drive a canyon road home after a night shift with no street lights. If there is debris or animals in the road I want to see that stuff asap.

With that being said what you guys are saying is that the stock bulb puts out the most white light right? Anything higher will give a color change and the apprearance of brighter light but less actual light on the road?

On a realted subject I think Monday I'm going to pop out my front signal bulb and see if I can match it up with the right silver coated bulb where I got them for my M3. I think I found the right dual filiment, but the bulb number is slightly off and it's one watt less. While I was in there I was thinking about getting a front side marker bulb and parking light bulb that match the white color of the headlamp (One is LED).
Has anyone researched the front silver coated bulb (so you don't have the egg yolk effect of the amber one) and the front marker & parking light? Don't flame me for not searching yet lol.

Modshack..whats up with you and the word ricer? Word of the day?!!!! I am not looking for attention (image) as far as my car OR MYSELF goes....get too much actually. I like function...and difference. Not your local plain-Jane. Go enjoy your blue Z..... your car, your choice :)

I think you got it....:tup:

Lookcarefully at the garage shots in post #10

So than..there are no 6k lights that give off straight white light and will make the road more visible? I've seen some 6-8k lights that show road as well as more off road (i.e. grass, trees...) I am only worries about the deer and little creatures..as I also drive at night

Well your OP stated you wanted brighter bulbs (admittedly you stated you needed help on the subject). You already have about the whitest light allowed by law, I believe. Bluish lights tend to be associated with a ricer image. I think he was trying to be helpful since you admittedly are a hottie who gets too much attention as it is.

We will be the judge of that:

:worthless:

ok...explain how to post a pic................

Also..I was not trying to be rude to MODSHACK, but assumptions are not ok in my book. I do not accept being judged if you dont know me. I am an American with a Import..that does not make a ricer...for wanting brighter lights, right?!!! Sorry if I don't want to hit a deer...like in my 350 :(

Album created.....

I'll take a closer look when I'm not at work lol. Thanks for the clarification.

Looks like on the smaller bulbs I'll just do the leg work and post some results. I'm pretty sure I can find matching sizes from PIAA/Sylvania or whatever, the trick will probably be getting a color match to the stock head light so it doesn't look lame.

Sorry for the thread jack, I'll make my own if I run into problems with my other bulb project.

It's cool, Sophia. Your Z looks sweet btw.
