real 8000K arent street legal, and they would be extremely extremetly Blue to the fact that they woudl not provide adiquate lighting. The 8000k that you see mostly for sale have the outter bulb painted blue in color, which isnt true 8000k and also the painting will reduce the life of the bulb. I personally woudl get the 6000K over the 8000k, look for PHILIPS ULTINON they are very high quality true 6000k hids. If your car (G35/350Z) is already equipted with HID, you only need to get the bulbs, which are D2R IIRC.
Also beware of other 6000k or 8000k bulbs as they use the lighting term. as a sellign factor, some are not their true color rating, go with well know companies, as one companies 6000k arent equal is brightness, color, and bulb life, to another companies.
(Also, remeber that you will get the most amount of visible lighting on the roads from a lower temp rating of about 4100k-4300k, GENERALLY anythign higher migth look *cooler* but will provide less efective lighting.)

Hey I bought my 8000k bulbs from HIDExpress. I like them but you do lose some visibility since the blue hue doesn't contrast as well with the road, although it seems to me that road signs light up like christmas trees. Not sure why that is. Anyhow mine are pretty much perfect but there is a slight flaw in the lighting pattern on the driver side bulb. I am the only person that notices it but it pisses me off. I am going to raise the car today or tomorrow night and readjust the little bugger to see if maybe it is mounted funny. If you don't mind a LITTLE loss of visibility, go for it. My buddies like it and I think they spill awesome light

Donny B, what do u mean by no modification necessary? Is it just a complete swap of the ballast and bulbs? Everything will plug into place without no cutting/splicing into the oem wires? I am interested in getting a new set since i dont really like my current HID;s
wait so i can just change the existing 4700k bulbs with 8000k bulbs and evertyhign will still work? i thought that i had to change the ballast and the bulbs? Please let me know. Thanks

he purchased them from www.globalpremier.com i just bought a set as well but mine are 8K. Cant wait to put those suckers in. I dont like the fact that when our HID bulbs warm up they turn into the yellowish look like all other cars.
