Default Aftermarket HID bulbs

ok came up with the run around on my search so I'm here to ask my questions.

So, I have an 04 Z and want to swap in new HID bulb, maybe a bit of blue tint in the light ya know.. My question is which company is gonna be best to go with, and will I run into any problems switching to aftermarket HID bulbs.
right now I'm looking at Phillips and Mcculloch

thats for the input..

Phillips makes lots of OEM stuff so they are probably best. You don't want to go too blue because it looks ricey I think and reduces your light output. I'd recommend 5000K.

4300k-6000k is what you want.

6000k will give you the bluish tint without giving up a lot of light output.

6000K is the best. Pretty light blue and about 2700 lumens. Thanks, www.sagahid.com

350zhaze, Im the owner of sagahid.com let me know how can I help or send me a pm. I own a 04 Touring and changed oem HID with 6000K and also add the high beam with 6000K kit. I purchase to Brightstar, my products have 1 year full warranty. Yes, they are done at China (as almost everything those days) with grat quality control. McCulloch still too expensive, lights equal and cost 3 times more. Thanks.

When you swap them out, you wont have any probs, it's just a b*tch to get to because the housing is behind the plastic lining behind the wheels...

it's still a DIY project, just a pain in the @ss... remember when you do it, not to touch the bulb.
