Go with phillips 85126yx for d2r or 85122yx for d2s. I have a pair and have run them in my lowbeam projectors for a couple of months for sh*ts and giggles. Planning on using them in my fog projector when I do a quad retrofit in my g35 headlights

Don't do it for your lowbeams... I think it looks stupid plus its probably illegal. If you get have a decent bodykit where you can add aftermarket fogs, you can have yellow fogs and then regular lowbeam HID's... looks great!

If you want HID's you need 3000K color, thats yellow. Honestly though I wouldn't get HID's, i'd just put halogens in. You don't want the yellow fogs overpowering the lowbeams too much, it looks really funny.

Here's a pic of my 5000K lowbeam HID's and 3000K HALAOGEN fogs... Even the halogens are almost too bright.
