Search on google for D2S xenon bulbs. You'll see tons of replies. You can also change the hue if you want. Are you changing the bulb to change the hue/color temparature or originals are burned out?

I'm currently looking into getting Philips Ultinon D2S 6000K bulbs whenever I get around to doing the headlight swap/mods. Hopefully I can do dome comparison shots as well.

Thanks AK! I guess i searched the wrong keywords...

i actually haven't gotten my Z yet, but it'd be here soon next month and I've always been a 8000K hue kinda guy.

Oh and I'm from Singapore and this forum rocks!

8000K is inane! That's like purple. I knew a guy who had a pair on his G35c, and I could barely see anything in front of his car. If you're not worried about night viewing, then you're good to go.

I can't wait to slap on 6000K Ultinon bulbs :-)

Nah... 8000K is blueish... I think the colour you're thinking about is closer to 10000K, which would fit your description of not seeing anything... I've used 6000K before and it's got a light purpleish hue...

But my bulbs are quite cheap Korean made ones which are decently durable so maybe they have a different chart! lol
