My HID bulb burned out. Not sure which I should order. Need help =/

The car already had a HID kit installed when I got it and I'm not sure which bulb I should get, since I'm not exactly electrically/mechanically inclined.
The previous bulb looked blue, so I'm guessing 8k, 10k or 12k. Are all bulbs the same? Size wise, power wise,etc?
[2003 g35 Sedan]

Here is the kit



Thanks

did you try switching the bulbs from one side to the other and see if the hid lights up? If not then its the ballast.

Well I am pretty sure default is 4300K and you will need an HID-D2R bulb for your '03 Sedan. New Infiniti's use HID-D2S bulbs. The higher "K rating" you go the less light output you will receive. Practically anything over 6k is really a waste if your at all concerned with your safety and brightness of lighting. I am ordering 6000K for my '03 coupe. I previously had 4300K and enjoyed them but I want something a little different this time around. If your other light works where your bulb is burnt out then its the bulb otherwise it is the ballast that you will need to replace.

Here are some links you may find useful.
