I ordered and just received some 6000k from :https://my350z.com/forum/group-buys/231337-christmas-sale-visionbulbs-and-prolumen-hid-conversion-kit.html

As far as putting them in, I read you need to take the front tires off and pull your inner wheel well lining out. ( they said it sounds harder than it actually is)

its very easy to do. remover wheel and then the 4 plugs that hold the liner in and you have now accessed the area where the lights are. I had the liners off while I was painting my calipers today.

Thanks! If it wasn't 20 degrees outside, I would be doing it now. I need to fill my propane take for my garage heater, then I'll do it.

BTW its not the bulb that makes the audi/bmw ect HID's look good, its the optics. They use a 4300k bulb, but the optics create the sharp cut off with the dark blue/ purple hues. If you look directly into the light its the same color as the Z's hid's
