I'm looking to buy a 2006 g35 sedan, how do you know if the car has HIDs optioned?

 

They're all going to have HID except for the earliest of the 2003 sedans which came equipped with halogens. I think what you're asking though is which ones came with PROJECTOR HID's yeah?

 

I think that's what it mean.

I believe still with reflector HIDs. So you're stuck with D2R bulbs, but Phillips has a nice upgrade. Whiter and brighter.

 

Ahh yeah I always forget that projectors we're a coupe-only thing.

 

Yes, '06 had D2R low-beams (in the upper part of the headlamp) and Halogen dual filament bulbs (lower part of the lamp) which did double duty as high beams and fogs. I think they also ran the Halogen's high beam filament at 1/2 voltage for Canada's Daytime Running Lights.

 

Being we're talking about HIDS, which I believe I have. I've got a question before I start I ordering parts.
Wifey just nailed a deer the other morning on the way to work.Damage could have been a lot worse. Bambi took out left headlight and mangled some plastic and sheet metal. All in all no MAJOR damage. Can some one ID this type of light this is? Bulbs are original, should they be replaced? If yes, with what?
Thanks

 

What year is your car? If you have reflector HIDs, its a D2R bulb, projector would be D2S.

 

It's an 05, ok so a phillips D2R bulb but I have know idea what the projector is?
How much of an improvement with the D2R?

 

If you have an '05 sedan, no projectors. First gen sedans never got the projectors. Projectors first introduced with the '06 coupes. Sedans started with the '07 generation.

 

Thanks for the info.. Time to start ordering parts. Rockauto has some good prices, just hope the fitment is good .
