check the exterior/interior section for more info...

You'll find the answer at sylvania.com

If you're AC does not come with stock HID, then the bulb is H11. And you need to get a hid conversion kit. 10000K is way to damn blue and purple

Best temp is 6000K. I had 6000K on my 07 altima sedan and loved the look.

I'm planning to upgrade my 08 350Z hid bulbs from 4300K to 6000K once it gets a little warmer.

+1 on 10k being way too blue. not only that you won't be able to see anything at night.

you want 6k, trust me.

I believe if your ac comes with premium package, then you got HID headlights.

If that is the case, then all you need to do is replace the bulbs.

If you don't have factory HID's then you'll need the whole HID kit, not just the bulb. you can get them on Ebay for $80 shipped or from DDMtuning.com under the HID kit section, i'd recomment 35W 6000k slim ballast kit, they work well and have a lifetime warranty. if you go the ebay route, search for a seller called SuperVtec. lots of people have bought from him and say they're good.

i didn't even pay for upgraded shipping, got them in two days and he shipped the same day i bought them. 6000k is a lot bluer than i expected, but not too blue to attract attention. some people swear by the 8000k, but i wouldn't go any higher than 6000k. you'll be fine with the ddm ones or the xentecs that supervtec sells, i didn't feel like waiting around for them to ship from ddm. oh and pick up a relay kit too, just to be on the safe side. you can grab those on ebay too and it makes it plug and play.
