HAS ANYONE CHANGED OUT THERE STOCK HID BULBS FOR AFTERMAKET ONE'S? THE STOCK LIGHTS JUST ARENT THAT GREAT AND WANTED TO SEE IF I COULD GET SOMEMORE LIGHT OUT OF UM BY CHANGING THE BULBS! PIAA MAKES HID BULBS FOR THE Z BUT THERE 450 BUCKS! ANYONE HAVE THE PIAA'S?

 

I need just one HID bulb if you swap out your lights.

 

GO BUY A SET TIGHT ***!

 

i have one HID bulb. E-mail me jun.tanaka@gmail.com

 

I am looking to buy a set of 6600k or up .. but I want to see some pics of some others Z's with replacement bulbs ..
I think they would set off my headlights

 

you can get brand new d2r's on ebay for $50

 

Is that what you would recommend? lol

 

Next time do a search. Any questions you might have someone probably already thought of it and ask it. Here is someone with aftermarket HID and LED markers. LINK~~~>https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....&highlight=HID

 

I have gone the ebay route in the past. There is no reason to pay dealer prices for hid bulbs. They are way over priced. You can get the same exact product while saving a lot of $.

 

As far as brightness is concerned, the OEM 4300k is the best route. They're made by Philips (a reliable brand). Anything higher (6000k, 8000k, etc.), you'll get a deeper blue/purple tint, but the lumens are also decreased. But if you don't care about brightness, then I'd suggest something around 8500k. The Philips that are sold on eBay are mostly 4300k, and they offer them at an unbeatable price.

 

I used to have LiteGlo 8000k on my prelude. Last the longest (2-3 years) no problem. and I think they come with life time bulb warr.

sometimes I wish that Z head light should be the same as MAXIMA projector... they look super hot.. (wicked purple)

 

Here are some of my HID bulbs..
I didn't like the Yellow/White mix of the stock OEM
I did lose quite a bit of lighting.

 

Any night pics
?

 

been driving the z for almost 3 weeks. I just got out of a 2000 audi a4. I would have thought that for a car with a window sticker of 35,800 we woudl get better lighting. The lights in my audi blow these away! the quaily of the entire car seams to be lacking, granted it looks great and has a good motor, i just expected more!
