Headlight bulb size?

Bster · 03-13-2009, 04:45 AM

Hi guys, I can't seem to find it the headlight's bulb size through the search function.

Could anyone post it here for all to share? Thanks!

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

4.3k = Yellow (Most visible light to the human eye)
6k = Light blue/white (what BMW/Audi/VW/Porsche/Ferrari/Aston/etc use)
8k = Aquaish/blue
10k = Blue
12k is dark blue/purple. (very low visible light)
