Default Need help... Looking for new headlights for my 03 track model

So I've searched high and low and I can't find a straight answer.. My adjusters broke on both my headlights so I need a new set. Are the stock ones on an 03 track hids? 6 or 8 prong? Any one have any cool pics or ones to show!? Or reviews on them? Thanks a ton in advance!

Hid are 8 pins. Oem 06+ with sti swap is the best set up possible.

If you cannot find someone selling their OEM 06+ headlights here, buy DEPO 06+ 350z headlights. Next best thing, and you can transfer your ballasts over to the new ones - unless you have halogen headlights, at which point you'll need to get ballasts.

I have an '03 Track, and they are HID (Xenon).

^^^^ These.

I've no experience with the Depo lights but I see people split pretty evenly on their quality. However, were I doing the '03 changeup, I'd definitely look at T'bo's suggestion of the '06+ BI-XENON (both high and low beams are Xenon/HID) with the STI lens swap.... but even without the STI upgrade, the '06 OEM is still the way to go.

I have both and BI-X in my '08 and they are much clearer, have greater definition and cutoffs than the original '03 HIDs (although they're not terrible). The '03 HIDs easily match the 7" Cibie Z beam 60/55's I used to run back in the day.... and those were regarded as the best.

Who drives their cars at night? Too hard seeing once the sun goes down.

Unfortunately it gets dark at like 4 pm now...
