I noticed that our g37s headlight appears to be whiter than the Z's. I wonder if Nissan uses different HID bulbs between the brands?

370's bulb temperature is 4200k I believe. What are they on the G37's?

I don't know the color rating on the G37, but it looks whiter. If the z's 4200k, my guess the G's probably 5000k.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that make the G's bluer?

5000k is whiter than 4300k, but 4300k has more usable light according to the Kelvin scale.
Anyhow, still wondering if the G's and Z's use different bulbs? Quote:

The G37 (sedan) uses bulb D2S which is the same bulb specified for the 370Z. Both these vehicles are made on the same assembly line in Japan thus, many parts are the same.

Your perception of light through a different styled and angled receptacle has influenced you.

Could it be the Z has a fresenel pattern over the projectors causing this coloring? The cut off and light output of the DOT USA spec headlights is pretty poor compared to the JDM or euro ECE assemblies.
