High and low beam are just one bulb. It's the bi-xenon projector that does the work for you. But yes, the bulb is a D2s bulb. Phillips 85122+ are good in this case.

And for the brand of 6000k bulb, you get what you pay for definitely. I'd recommend the Phillips Ultinons, but that's just me.

I don't have them installed yet because I'm waiting for custom headlights to get completed. Hopefully to get them installed in May... busy month. I hope it's not blue.

When I bought my HID's for my altima I was debating 5000k or 6000k as I was trying to find the perfect white with none if any hint of blue. I ended up buying a cheap a** set of xentec for around 80 bucks a pair but the color is perfect; white with no yellow and if any a minimal hint of blue.

Only if you're in the Peoples Republic of California :-)

DO all 370z have the same headlights stock? I have a base model but was wanting to upgrade the headlights. Sorry car newb but not Electronic newb.

CBRich 05-24-2009 08:57 PM

Same headlights for all.

marcelo929 05-25-2009 12:55 AM

The lights were 5000k sorry slipped by lol

6000s arent as blue as you think.. only in pictures do they look blue.. in person they look bright white with a slight slight slight tint of blue

Heres a pic from my camera phone i just took right now. Its actually a little whiter in person.

Yes i know cut off is terrible.. thats what you get for getting crappy ebay projectors instead of retrofits.

Philips Ultinon 6000k D2S Bulb

The bulbs say they are made in Germany right? Ebay has some for sale..but its weird because the seller is in Taiwan, while the description says the product is from germany. Kind of skeptical :shakes head:

These pictures i found online are much more accurate representations of what it is in RL.

Really? My package was shipped from Canada. One of my friends recommended this site when he got stuff for his Lexus. I have pictures of the bulbs in my photo album. We'll see how it goes once I get my headlights in.
