I've scanned online as much as I can but can't seem to find a clear answer.
I need to replace the low-beam headlight on my 2003 350z Touring model (Australia, if it makes a diff)
I believe the bulb will either be H7 or D2R but want to confirm before purchasing.
Is there a simple way to check whether it's HID or Halogen without taking off the headlight?
Also let me know if pics would help, more than happy to post.
It looks like you figured it out based on the stamps on the lens, but you can always confirm by removing part of the fender liner to see if there's a ballast on the underside of the housing.
Or, HID bulbs have a slight "warm-up" time period of a few seconds where they will appear sort of "blue-ish" before fading into a whiter color once you illuminate them. The H7 halogen bulb color will be consistent on startup.
