Ok, so before I get flamed, I did do a search and spent over 2 hours reading every single thread that came remotely close to what I'm looking for. The closest I got was in the classified section, but I want an unbias answer from someone who actually has or knows what I'm looking for.
Here's the deal. I recently upgraded the lights on my 03 z to 06 lighting. This obviously includes the headlamps.
Everything on my car worked great for about a week. Unfortunately one night my headlamps went out. I figured it was a fuse and would probably solve it the next day.
I've checked and double checked every single fuse on the car, including the ones hidden under the plastic covers by the firewall, and all fuses are fine. All the lights on the car work! Including the parking lamps and citylamps inside the headlamps.
I can even hear and see my "high beam" indicator light up in the gauge cluster when I flick or turn on my highbeams.
The only possibilities that I've come to are:
The HID bulbs on the 03-05 modles are not the same as the ones on the 06+ modles, so the bulbs got burnt?
-or-
There is a trick or another ground that I missed when adapting the 06 headlamps? (I basically just pluged them into my existing 03 harness)
If anyone with an 06 350z with HID's can post the part number or bulb type that they use, I would greatly appreciate it.
Or if anyone has had any experience with this, or has another recommendation that I might of missed, I would appreciate it also.
Thanks!!!

Thank you for your reply!
The worst part is that I've called local dealerships and they too can't give me an answer!!!! I figured someone here with an 06 might of upgraded their bulbs and might know.
Anyone else have more info?

I cant help you-but I know somebody at Performance Nissan can-they sell these lights among many things and were the first to do a headlight/tail-light swap into a 03-05' Id give em a call and ask them. Good luck.
