Lol. No. That's where all these mods and trends start. Cops are pretty lenient too. You can drive by a cop on the freeway at 80 and he won't even bother you. I'm sure you can rice a car out enough that it will piss the cop off to where he will bother you, but all my cars for the last 10 years have been running 35% tint all around, aftermarket exhaust, lowered and either 6k HID or blue HID look bulbs, running lights and clear side markers/turn lamps and ahve never been bothered for any of my mods. It's just that the laws are strict for emissions and safety stuff.

I want to get a set of 6000K upgrade too, but dont know what brand to get. They are so many brands out there. They go from $50 to $200 per pair. Any idea guys?

High and low beam are just one bulb. It's the bi-xenon projector that does the work for you. But yes, the bulb is a D2s bulb. Phillips 85122+ are good in this case.

And for the brand of 6000k bulb, you get what you pay for definitely. I'd recommend the Phillips Ultinons, but that's just me.

The bulbs say they are made in Germany right? Ebay has some for sale..but its weird because the seller is in Taiwan, while the description says the product is from germany. Kind of skeptical

The lights were 5000k sorry slipped by lol

Sparhax · 05-24-2009, 07:46 PM

DO all 370z have the same headlights stock? I have a base model but was wanting to upgrade the headlights. Sorry car newb but not Electronic newb.

CBRich · 05-24-2009, 08:57 PM

Same headlights for all.

GreenJalapeno · 05-25-2009, 01:30 AM

6000s arent as blue as you think.. only in pictures do they look blue.. in person they look bright white with a slight slight slight tint of blue

Heres a pic from my camera phone i just took right now. Its actually a little whiter in person.

Yes i know cut off is terrible.. thats what you get for getting crappy ebay projectors instead of retrofits.

GreenJalapeno · 05-25-2009, 02:08 AM

These pictures i found online are much more accurate representations of what it is in RL.
