These bulbs do have high beam on them also, right?


Also, can anyone vouche for any good ebay sellers for these bulbs? Id like to order a pair but do not want to end up with some imitations.

What would be better is if someone has some contacts and we could get a group deal going for these from a reputable company.

 

HIGH beams on the bulbs? a D2S bulb is a D2S. They don't make ones for high/low.....

 

ok so theres a different set of bulbs for the high beam? My high beams will still work with these bulbs, right?

Im asking because I know a few people who have bought those plug and play HID kits and they dont have High beams unless they get a different type of bulb.

 

Have you tried this on a car with the tech package?

 

here.. i have a very good site.. this is where i got my lightbulbs.. $100.00 for a pair: www.cartoka.com

these are my current lights.. 8000k





OH! and if anyone needs addition instructions on how to replace your low-beams.. heres a DIY i posted a while back.. http://forum.g35nyc.com/showthread.php?t=2039

 

the highbeams use the same bulb as the low beams. i think.. because when shine my headlight onto a wall.. then high beam.. its the same 8000k color but covers more area.

 

There is no **** under this housing. It's purpose is to secure the bunch of wires beside it to the car.

 

Your friend probably has a 9004 or 9007 bulb where the high and low beam are the same bulb, it just gets brighter when you hit the high beam (kinda like a dual filament bulb), those you need bi-xenon kits to replace or xenon kits with a mechanism that can actually move the bulb up and down for HI/LOW. I'm not sure how our high beams work, but i'm guessing it either uses the motor to move it up and down, or a blinder that moves out the way to let light shine higher up. Thats how most lights that do double duty work.

 

the 2nd gen sedan uses a d2s bulb which is the low AND high beam. the bulb shines the same regardless. the lens on the projector is what moves to allow for the "high" beam. so yes, any d2s beam will allow ALL regular light functions to work properly. its different with anything except d2s bulbs so this only applies to BI-XENON bulbs which is in our cars. dont worry guys, these will work fine.

 

You know what would help a lot of people. Every one that orders bulbs should take a pic of the bulb and post what it has written on it. That way we would know if different sites are selling the same bulb at different prices. A guy i know that sells HID's says they are only a few places that actually make these kits, and they get them DIRT cheap (like less than 30 bucks), everyone buys them and labels the ballast and has their own box made, and mark them up accordingly. The reason why some cost more is the mark up the reseller puts on them, and sometimes reflects the care they put into the packaging and what not, that's the reason for the lower defect rate on the more expensive ones.

 

Here's a picture of them warmed up. This shot makes them look perfectly white, but from different angles they look slightly more blue.

 

Just got my bulb in, it was delayed due to weather yesterday. I accidentally ordered d2r but they are sending me d2s's on monday with a return slip for these bulbs, so i don't loose out on anything. I would definitely do business with them again (ordered from them 3 times already, each time they shipped overnight, and even when a mistake was made, i didn't have to pay for overnight shipping again)

 

I believe that HIDs are 35 watts. Not sure if they come in any other flavor.

I heard that Philips Ultinons come or are coming in a 5000k or so bulb that comes closer to the 6000k color without compromising lumin output.

PIAAs are notorious for burning out and are charging mainly for their name. Other good halogen bulbs are Philips, Osram, and Silvania.

 

Pdubz - how long have you had those bulbs in your car? Are they as reliable as the Phillips Ultinons?

 

I installed the D2r's just to see what they would look like. The color looks white like a piece of paper. My car only had like 3 tabs to take out though, i think Infiniti broke some tabs and didn't put them back when they changed out my headlights ~a month or two ago....
