you can change the small bulbs that are angled in the corner to a white or other colored LED light made my forum member Ares. Gets rid of the yellow looking light. The pictures look great on members cars but i haven't yet tried them out myself (though I sure plan on it in the near future).

yes, they are all the same. 4300K.

this is the brightest color, but it is a tad close to halogen which is around 3000ish.

you can switch to 5 or 6000K bulbs and it will clear that up.

also I have the LED bulbs hndumafia mentioned, they make the other bulb in the headlight housing match nicely with a clear 5500k white color. and remain colorless when off. only HID and LEDs can produce light of that shade without a colored filter.

the LEDs can improve the coloring of the headlight as it is. to get it completely WHITE, you need both replaced.

Easy answer, yes. Same headlights. I don't think nissan would invest so much money for specific headlights for the track.

If i get 5 or 6000K bulbs.

how long would they last???

and how much???

u know, those HID bulbs that they sell for like 20~30.
They only last for like 2~3 month.

By the way, I kind of want some ice blue color on my HID.

Thanks

can you put in 6000k bulbs, and not damage any of the wiring?[like the wiring frying?]
