- If you're under warranty get replacements from the dealer
- Upgrading to the bi-xenons is a night and day difference, yes

The 06+ ones are called bi-xenon because they use 1 HID bulb for both the low beam and the high beam.

The 03-05 has 2 bulbs (HID low beam and regular halogen high beam).

And yes, I did the upgrade for my 04 and it is GREAT! Looks better and lights better.

I have a 2004 Z. When upgrading to the 06+ headlights are you changing the bulbs only or the whole headlights? My cousin was at a local import shop and he was going to get me some HID bulbs, but the clerk told him HID bulbs won't work on xenon headlights. He says its totally different. It's either HID or regular. I'm confused. Can anybody confirm this plz! Thanks in advance!

HID=Xenon. but you will not be able to use just the bulb. the 06+ has a Bi-zenon projector. the 03-05 has a single xenon projector. so no matter what bulb you use they will be the above.

BTW you may not need new headlight. you could just take them apart, clean the stains and re-seal them. would cost less money and worst case is you break them and need to rreplace them anyway and all you are out is the cost of the sealent.
