How can I find out what Bulb i Have and will a Bi-xenon conversion kit work
I have a stock (as far as lighting goes) 2003 G35 sedan. However my headlights have gone weak and I have finally saved enough cash to get xenons in my car. My question are how do you know if you car has halogens or HIDs, where can i find this information(the owners manual had nothing). When i turn on my car the lights turn on instantly and do not need to worm up(I was told this mean i have halogens). The reason I ask is because I have found a conversion kit that say it is bi-xenon H4/9003 will this work for my car (both high and low beams) or do i have to buy one high beam conversion and another low beam conversion separately.
thank you for all your help

easiest way is to simple look at the headlight housing. There should be an etching on the clear cover that tells you what type of bulbs are used. If it says d2r, then they are HID. Another easy way to check is to simple turn on the headlight and the foglight at the same time. If you have HID's, then the top lights will look significantly whiter/bluer than the lower halogen bulbs. If you have a 2003, then the HID bulbs are probably nearing the end of their lifetime, and can be replaced with new HID bulbs. Just pick up a set of OEM phillips 85126+ d2r bulbs on ebay or something. Should be less than $100

I would get a set of HID headlight housings with ballasts and a set of D2R bulbs. I would bet that they have the same electrical connections and will plug and play. No wiring required.
Price them new from vendors such as www.everythingg35.com, www.infiniti-partsusa.com, and www.grubbs.com. You may be able to find a good set from a junk yard.
Beware of some of the housings sold on eBay. They are halogen replacements and you will be in the same boat.
The 05 sedan headlights got a minor refreshing on the design. I'm not sure if they are a direct fit on the 03-04 sedans.

There aren't any halogen bulbs that are brighter than stock. You don't have to have the dealership do the swap for you, pick up a set of used OEM HID headlights like others have suggested, and install those. I'm not sure if the wiring is different or not, but shouldn't be that hard to figure out. They can be had on ebay or wrecking yards occasionally if you keep an eye out, and the conversion could be done for $<1000.
