2004 G35 Sedan headlight question

Hello

My xenon headlights are both out and I want to replace them with the exact same or close as possible bulb as the original... I'm looking at this web site:

http://www.autopartsway.ca/partlist....Q35DE/fuelTGAS

I want to make sure I'm looking at the correct bulb for what I need. Would this be it?

Any other recommendations/suggestions?

Ddmtuning bulbs are $15 US a pair. You have to weigh shipping and import taxes vs the other sights you posted. Might be worth ordering several bulbs.

Thanks. I believe the $15 bulbs will not be the exact same as the stock xenons Im trying to replace. I'm not looking for the cheap blue xenon bulbs, I'm looking for the high end white/purple light xenons that came with the car or closest to that.

Stock is 4300k ...they sell those as well as the rice purple 12000k bulbs. Just pick your color temp when selecting as well as d2r for bulb type.

5000K will be pure white and 6000K will have a hint of blue FYI. Anything higher than that will look horrible and as you go up in temp you lose visibility/effectiveness of the light.

I have the 5000K pure white bulbs from DDM tuning and they look great. I would order 2 sets though since if one burns out and you need a quick replacement (if your on a trip or something etc...) you'll have to pay through the nose for ones off the shelf.

If you have factory hid, yes. If not you need an hid retrofit kit.

For a quality hid kit get it from theretrofitsource. If you're going cheap get it from ddmtuning.

Don't know about theretrofitsource, but I've heard good stuff about Ddmtuning and they ate affordable.

How would I find out how many K these headlights are in the link below? And why are they so much more expensive than DDM Tuning $15 bulbs... which I cant find on their web site...
