Hey guys,
not sure about you but the headlights on my 05 Z are not very bright. The beam pattern is mint, but intensity is pretty sad compared to other factory HID's.

I was wondering if anyone her has replaced their OEM bulb with a new one of the same colour temp? Has this helped or must the ballast and bulb both be changed?

thanks

 

goneinsixtyseconds, switched his with a phillips bulb from PMall..

 

just ready to ask the same question

 

i'm too beat to write something complete so i'll just write random jibberish.

- you're looking to buy "D2R" bulbs x 2
- pmall sells no name D2R bulbs from korea, china, etc. for $100-150 (for 2 bulbs) that have colour temps of 6000K+.
- i paid 200 for philips brand 6000k bulb.
- PIAA 6800K was like $320

the end, you take a chance putting those no name brands in, but most of them have higher colour temps (6000K+). don't forget that the factory peanut bulbs have a fugly tint of pale yellow, so you may want to change those too while you're at it, maybe your DRL (h7's) too.
