you just need the bulb. make sure you get d2r. I believe the escalade uses projector headlights and we use reflectors, so no matter what bulb you use it wont look the same.

how can D2S mess up your ballast ? it will only mess up your light patten, it has nothing to do with ballast. difference between d2s and d2r is there is a shield on d2r, so you would get right light patten when you put in non projector head light.

D2S does not cause any damage. D2R are reflector Xenons (our car, Escalade, G35 Sedan, etc.). D2S are projector Xenons where it looks like a crystal ball (BMW's, Mercedes, Audi's). Reflector Xenons use the light housing to create the beam pattern. Projector Xenons harness the light and project it as a controlled beam. The difference between D2R and D2S Xenon bulbs is that D2R bulbs have a little strip of this black tape underneath the bulb (so it covers part of the bulb) to minimize glare for on-coming drivers. That is literally the only difference, simply the tape strip. So the answer is yes, you can convert a D2S bulb to act like a D2R bulb very easily.

my gf has the g35 sedan

is it a bitch to put xenon aftermarket in? also the HID aftermarket fog lights for the grill, is that a bit of work too? But she has the H1 headlights, the nice ugly yellow, do any of you know the wattage for that headlight?
thanks

I used the PIAA Xtreme White h4 bulbs for my fogs which dont match my ultinons at all!!!! probably a good match if your using factory HID's.

Thinking about trying the PIAA Super Plasma GT-X. Anyone in the houston area want these for cheap?

Nah, I bought them online but I've decided to go with projectors. I couldn't turn down a reasonable offer right now cause they're just sitting here on my desk.

Why pay 280bucks for Phillips if you can get a set of Mccullough for $110 bucks?. IMO, they are as good as the Phillips.

3 coats of Zaino Z-2 Pro.

Pioneer AVIC-D1 with 05 double din conversion.

Rockford Fosgate 5002 amp.

I know I dont have any trunk space, but I never use my trunk anyway's.

I didn't want anything permanent and incase of a flat tire, so it was made to be easily removed.
