370z headlight bulbs
 
I've been curious to find out if I was to get brighter headlight bulbs, will my headlights still have the fade on option? I love that about the newer Z's and I don't want that to go away but I don't know if that has to do with the stock bulbs or not. Any help will be appreciated!

I beleive how the light starts out a different color and gets brighter over the first few seconds is inherent in all xenon healights. If you switch the bulbs they are still going to do that.

The "fade" as you turn the lights on and they get brighter, is a result of the type of light they are (a type of florescent bulb).

Is there a suggestion as to what might be a good brand and what color brightness? I've never changed bulbs before! I'm very new to this.

What you have now is the brightest. As you go up the spectrum to 6000, 8000 and higher, the output will get bluer and intensity (white light) will be reduced.

Unless you're a ricer looking for an image, what you have now is as good as it gets..

Definitly not a ricer..thanx for that gay comment tho ;) But anyway...if you comprehended what i said ..." I'm new at this.... never changed a bulb before..."..I do know there are some out there that look more crisp and brighter than the one on the Z. Just didn't know where to look

stock Hid lights are at 43k, so if you look at Vipors Scale you have some wiggle room to improve it slightly..

vipor 12-16-2009 06:22 PM

i want some 6000K or 6500K bulbs

Trips 12-16-2009 06:23 PM

hey vipor, haven't we done this before?

vipor 12-16-2009 06:24 PM

yeah seems vaguely familiar...

didn't find that 2nd image the first time though. i like the in-car shots

SophiaZ 12-16-2009 06:25 PM

Yea, the 6k looks pretty good...not sold on the blue. That's too much
