how fast do these bulbs burn out tho ?

6000 is a slight hint of blue. I have 6Ks in my Z32. It looks white at first, but if you switch back and forth between the stock brights and the HIDs, you see the blue.

They last a long time... And they're cheap to replace the bulbs.

If anyone is interested, we sell the D2S 6k with LIFETIME WARRANTY. :tup:

It brakes, we replace it

I've had my D2S 6k's for over a year with no issues.
The stock rating is 4300k on my G37. Thats also highest kelvin watts approved by DOT so i don't think any cars from factory would have something higher

Lou, looking around your site I can't seem to find the headlights. Link?

Phillips Ultinons are EXPENSIVE, but they're worth it. :tup:

Compared to my other cars (with standard headlights) these are pretty darn blue stock.

4300k is pinkish and is what manufacturers call "soft light". "White light" is 5800k and is what color daylight is. you don't really see blue until you are over 6000k.

That link is for Xenon Depot up in Canada, they have a pretty good rep for their HID kits. I had one on my 4Runner and it was great. Id buy from them again.

eddieconfetti 06-30-2009 10:45 PM

i love mccullochs. even though they are expensive, its worth it. thats what i had. i had 6000k and 5000k. imo 6000k is the best for looks and 5000k is best for the output. when ur upclose to ur car and look at your lights when its 6000k, then it looks white. from a distance u see the blue but not as blue with 8000k. 5000k is pretty much white all around. but it also depends on the company too i think. ive seen 6000k that looks more blue than other 6000k.

Puma0183 07-23-2009 11:40 AM

has enyone of you changed the bulbs your self?
if you had, once you have the opened the grey door where the bulbs is in the headlight housig, do you just pull it out or twist and turn? i don't want to break anything with trying to change them.
pics would be nice!!!!!!!!

Caravanshaka 07-23-2009 05:41 PM

twist and pull off the part that has the wiring harness on it. once that is off there is 2 wirey clips holding the light in. you have to push them down and out to unlock the bulb, then the bulb should be able to slide out. I've done some LED's in headlights already so I was hoping to have a picture but I couldn't find one :(

Puma0183 07-24-2009 10:21 PM

did u had to take the tire off?
I cant see what im movin in there with it on!!!
and I would hate to brake them.

Caravanshaka 07-24-2009 10:24 PM

I honestly haven't changed them with the headlights in the car. It might be worth pulling the tires off and completely pulling back the fender well.

dcrew1x 09-07-2009 01:22 PM

Lou, I was looking at your gallery and you have a blue 370z with custom painted headlights to match the color of the car.

I'll be back in California eventually and was wondering if you offer this service? :icon17:

I have a good experience with XENTEC. I had them in my Altima coupe before.

How much?

D1911 10-06-2009 09:50 AM

The S2000 runs 4300k bulbs.
Like mentioned, most manufacturers run 4300k out of a stock car.

EVOR 10-06-2009 08:42 PM

Yes, stock G35 coupe is also 4300K I had replace with 8000K looks so much better.

from my understanding, changing the D2S is the same as changing the lowlights to LEDs? i read from another thread, we have to remove the wheel so that there's access to the headlights. whats the real lowdown? I've got 6K and 8Ks otw and I really want to do the installs myself.

Zigen5 03-19-2010 08:53 AM

I believe all you have to do is turn your wheels all the way to the left or right to access the lights.

tazz01 03-19-2010 11:22 AM

Isn't all the headlight mod's such as the landing strip and side lamp are in 6k LED? wouldn't it make sense to have the matching 6k bulb?
