I thought the differences between 8000k and 6000k and 4000k were in the brightness?? Can someone tell me the differences?

Those values are color temperatures. Read about it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

Essentially 4000k will look a little yellow 6000k will look white and 8000k will look blue.
Daylight is around 6k (+ or - a few).

D2S is the bulbs the 06 Z's use since they are a bixenon type bulb. The d2R are the bulbs used on the Pre-06 Z's. This is from memory so dont crucify me if its backwards .

The way I see it, if you want to order those bulbs they will probably be fine. But if you want a solid 1 year warranty for the bulbs and a guarantee that they work order through me.
Thanks for referring me though guys.
The way I see it though, just PM me if you want some bulbs Ill work something out with you.

Not only did they use a pic of my Z, they also edited the lighting.. this was when I first bought it = stock bulbs. Hahaha. Because of that, I don't think I would buy from them. Check out the difference below..

The higher K rating means more blue light , but the less light output

D2S= Projector type HID bulb (06 g35coupe)
D2R= Reflector Type HID bulb (03 g35coupe)

Wow I got really confused. I thought you meant gNaRKiLL jacked your pic. Obviously it was the ebay seller that did. Just wanted to state it in case anyone else is in a morning fog like me and missed it.

That is how 99% of these companies do it. They edit the hues on a single picture to show the different kelvin ratings. COMPLETE garbage bulbs, complete garbage lighting, .......... complete garbage.

real quality HID capsules should last upwords of 5-10 yrs. gNaRKiLL offering a one yr warranty is better than no warranty, but in all reality a decent halogen bulb should last a yr. Most halogens are rated for about 200 hrs, while a quality HID capsule is rated at 2000 hrs (10X the life of a halogen). If he was selling quality, I would expect a longer warranty

Long story short, purchase only oem spec sylvania/osram or phillips/hella capsules for the most light output and longevity you can buy.
