doesn't the new 05+ Z run full projector? which means they run D2S. Pre 05 are half projector and half reflector and those run D2R. OEM ballast can support both type of bulbs. alittle future references. the higher the kelvin means the different type of gas it uses, not different voltage. it's still a 12v 35w bulb =)
