where to start...

1) Turn off CAPS LOCK

2) G37 comes with HIDs stock

3) If you want blue or purple (puke), you will need to swap the stocks for 8,000K-12,000K HID bulbs.

I think the bulb # is D2S? Someone correct me if I'm wrong. It's either D2S or D2R. If you are looking for that bluish/purplish tint just listen to what Gyoza posted.

Yes, you will want to get a 8,000 Kelvin (Blue) or 12,000 Kelvin (purple) D2S bulb. Then just replace the stock ones.

Oh, and the higher the Kelvin, the less light you get. It also increases your chances of getting harrased by police and called a "ricer".

If you want yellow you will want to get a 3,000K or less bulb, but this will not be pretty.

Our stock bulbs are around 4,300K. Pure white is around 5,000k. 6,000K+ is going to be blue-ish to purple.

if you want yellow, i would probably do an HID conversion for your fogs and keep your main headlights at no more than 6K.

Yup, if you want yellow for your main headlights, you can just change out the bulbs just the same as if were doing blue/purple.
