If I'm not mistaken, most OEM manufacturers use a 4300K bulb because it produces the most lumens possible compared to other K temperature bulbs. I know a lot of them use the Phillips bulbs.
Stock harness? Isn't it just a matter of unclipping the bulb from the projector bowl and clipping in a new bulb? At least that's how it's done on my other cars. The K temperature shouldn't affect anything because the bulbs are just different in color. They should still use the same 35w ballast if I'm not mistaken.

Just make sure it's a D2s bulb. That bulb is standard issue for most OEM HID applications. I personally use Phillips 4300k 85122+ bulbs in my other cars. I might switch to the Phillips Ultinon 6000k bulbs for the Z. I'll probably switch them out first thing when I receive my Z. It's not here yet, so I can't confirm everything is as I say it is. I'm just going on prior experience with other cars with HID projector headlights.

Someone told me I paid too much for my Ultinon 6000K bulbs, and he told me he got his for around $60 for a complete set. He initially said Philips bulbs, but later admitted it was some other brand when I told him what the bulbs really went for EACH. I pay for quality, so hopefully my bulbs are good. :-)

Phillips Ultinons are EXPENSIVE, but they're worth it.
