What HID bubls are people using ???
 
Well I have had some trouble finding bulbs that work with my car.

I know the headlights are D2S 35W, but when I install them they just flicker and turn off immediately. There are also other forum members having the same problem.

What bulbs have you guys used that worked in your car ?

The weird thing is that me and the other person having trouble, both have a 2011.. Did anything change for 2011 ? I mean the bulb is still the same..

I am also having the same issue. Bulbs light up, then shut off immediately. They will not remain on until after I switch them on/off about 3 or 4 times. Seller says that Nissan uses 2-3 different type of ballasts and that the bulbs he sells will not work with mine.... :bs: I honestly don't think Nissan uses different parts from one Z34 to another, but oh well..still waiting to hear from him

distance is not that bad. and its deep blue = true blue. :tup:

edit: forgot to mention that the company can sell 8k for you but with a hint of blue if you like the whiteish/blueish effect. Plus free shipping and i got my lights in 2 days. Cant complain =]!

that will only work with certain ballasts, but they are all the same type (D2S)

I read the auction description and it says 7 day money back guarantee.. I
guess if they don't work just send them back..

So uh,

Modding your lights to produce less of an output is now the cool thing to do?

The output is hardly noticeable between stock 4300K and aftermarket 6000K,
the color is what we are trying to change.. I hate that yellowish look of the
stock headlight.

The 6000K has a tinge of blue in it.. You can go up in K (kelvin) and change
the color even more. But I personally think it looks tacky.
