Digging up a very old thread here but after reading around and not wanting to screw myself over with having to wait on shipping etc I found the Osram CBI seemed most reliable.
Since I'm in Australia, 2 week shipping time is a killer if anything goes wrong.
I have a 2014 370Z and the CBIs work perfectly. As ghost_ix says, it's clear white and noticeably brighter than stock/random 6000K HIDs.

I bought cheapo $20 6000K HIDs for my last car and although the colour was nice the light output wasn't much better than stock.
These CBIs are definitely the way to go if you care about light output.
They're advertised as 5500K and are $185 from TRS:
D2S: Osram Xenarc 66240 CBI - HID Bulbs - Components

I might look at uploading some photos but unfortunately photos don't really capture the whiteness.

I managed to swap both bulbs out without removing wheels, I did have my girlfriend helping by holding the plastic guard back though, if you do this, just be careful it's not putting too much stress on the front bumper as it will bend it.
