what's the HID temperature for the new G?
is it 6000k or 5000k?
all the pics look so blue that it looks like 8000k to me but i know OEM won't go that high

 

4300K is the standard for all OEM manufacturers. It may look blue in pictures, but in reality its a white with a tiny hue of blue. The output on the ground is near yellow though.

 

yah that's what i would figure... i'm gonna miss the 6000k on my car right now when i make the switch to the new G...

 

So why not 6000K D2S bulbs for your new G ?

 

hid bulbs are expensive, unlike halogen 6000k

 

Yea that is very true, thats why Im stock. Besides, the color the projector lenses put out from the stock 4300K is very nice. A white with a small hue of blue. I plan to keep it this way. Best output.

 

Yes Im not planning on changing the HID bulb, very expensive

 

My 6MT's HIDs are very bright, and it covers a wide angle range. However, my impression of it is that it doesn't look as bright-white as other luxury cars. I have aftermarket HIDs (4300k) in my Mazda6, and while it's definitely brighter and white than halogen, they're no where near luxury car quality. I'll compare the two side by side and try to take a photo. What do I love is the bi-xenon: high beam is also HID!

 

When I did my S2000 retrofit I tried the phillips 5000k D2S bulbs and they are very nice, I just like a little more color so the real phillips 6000k are great. A very small loss in output but great color. Pair them up with some Piaa 2500k yellow fogs for a very unique look!

 

Is 07 G35 still using D2S spec?

 

All Projectors Use D2S and bulbs costs maximum $50-60 a piece, a small investment for a big difference

 

I definitely dont know where you heard that one...but a pair of Philips 6000K ultinon bulbs will run you about $235 for a set.
