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

prices?

How come not many people are using the 8000k bulbs?
I run the 6000k on my girlfrinds car and on my bike but I don't I would lime to

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

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.

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?

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.
