The type is easy. Just match the bulb to your car. Its a snap fit bulb:

a. Remove fitting from housing
b. Replace bulb
c. Insert fitting into housing.

The big headache with the 350Z is access to the back of the headlamp.

just buy the mechanics manual and DIY, not too difficult. if you have not upgraded the bulbs then go to your local NAPA store and buy the stock replacement. they should be able to answer all your questions (bulb-wise). I think the stock bulb is a little over a hundred $. If all else fails, take it to a shop to be fixed.
