HID bulbs, not interior LEDs.

Try the Philips 85122+. They are rated at 3200 lumens. Same lumens as the Z stock bulbs.

D2S: Philips 85122

or the Osram 66240 which also rated at 3200 lumens at 4300k

Meanwhile I had good experience with Diode Dynamics bulbs. They are pretty popular on G37 forum. The price is good too. It has warranty too. If anything goes wrong you can return or replace them. You might want to give it a shoot.

So these do work on our Zs for sure? Never a problem?

That I don't know. But at least the price is good and it comes with 1 year warranty. If JWM still don't have bulbs ready in next 2 weeks I might try this.

I had the 6k hid bulbs from Diode Dynamics and went through 6 replacement bulbs before I called it quits. Each bulb would ignite and immediately go off after install. Went with JW and not a single issue. I would wait it out. Those prongs/plastic that hold the bulbs in are WAY to fragile to constantly switch bulbs.....
