Default Help with finding a brighter headlight bulb for 06 350z

Hey guys i've been wanting to change my headlight bulb for quite a while now because my brother's 2002 Arcua TL's headlights are brighter then my 2006 350zs'. The replacement bulb is D2S (35W) Xenon but i want to find a brighter version of it. If you guys know any upgrade or any mod i can do to brighten my light please let me know, thanks.

By design you may not be able to make the headlight brighter. You can change bulb color and wattage but not necessarily make the headlight anymore brighter.

That said look for a top manufacture such as OSRAM-SYLVANIA instead of junk from China.

What he said..or just retrofit the TL projectors (not worth it though).

The TL projectors really hard to beat..great output, and fantastic cutoff. One of tops projector.

The 06+ projectors are pretty bright already. Can you not see still? Maybe get glasses, or re-adjust/aim the projectors u have now..

Aim the headlights, it'll make a big difference.

The STi mod is a lot of work, but worth it IMHO. You can see my DIY here:
