Those bulbs do look good I must say. There are many many companies out there that sell bulbs super super cheap. I will never come on a forum to knock another company just cause their prices are cheap and automatically say they are "garbage". There are always options on parts being available. There are pros/cons of buying each brand. Many details are built into the quality, that the hidden eye will never see. Our 5 year warranty.....well that speaks for itself. Either or....now people have choices...these bulbs look good still.

Thanks for taking the time to do that review Blackjack, very good review.
I like the OEM lights because I can see alot. I was talking to an Electrician for the Infiniti Service Center, and I was telling him that I like the color of the stock Acura, BMW, Escalade, Porsche lights, etc. And he told me that those lights are nicer from the outside when looking at them but if you want visibility keep the stock HIDS because they are pure white and he said that white reflects more off everything including signs. He has an STI and he said that those come with a slight bluish tint to them and he loved the way they looked from the outside but he wanted more visibility so he got some of OEM lights from Infiniti and put those on his STI and he can see ALOT more and is very pleased with them. Also he said the OEM bulbs are like 100,000 hour bulbs or maybe there were more 0s but he said they will NEVER go out unless its a bad bulb, but he said if they did they replace them for free while its under warrenty. thats just what came from an electician. I used to have another car of mine with 6000K, wasn't to pleased from the inside but from the outside looked very good IMHO.
So with that said, I think I might have to see more pics of the 6000K possibly from the outside if anyone has any maybe even in person we'll compare if anyone lives in NV?
Does anyone really know what bulb Acura and BMW and Escalade and porsche uses?

Yea you can tell a difference when there side by side... and in the pics you can see the blue come out from the projector... then see the OEM yellowness...
As far as telling high quality from low quality... thats impossible just by looking at a bulb. Just gotta play the waiting game on that...

The stock TSX has 4300 bulbs, just like the G. The FX also has 4300, which a lot of people use for bi-xenon conversions.
Summary is that you can put the 6000K bulbs in to give it a bit better of an external appearance and add to driving light, but it's going to take changing lenses or even the projector housing to actually bring yourself up to the Acura, BMW, etc. look.

My wife has a 2007 TSX and that has the best lights in it that I have ever driven in. It has a lot to do with the projector housing/cutoff/lense, and the TSX has one of the most desirable housings to have for retrofits. The light color outside the car is beautiful, and next to my car stock there is NO way the G37 is as good or better, in my opinion it is very poor in comparison. The STi lights are also better than the G, I've driven one. BMW again are also better. I wouldn't let the tech pull your leg too far, I think he sounds a bit biased.

I had a feeling it wasn't the bulbs that were in it. I still love the way the stock G lights look though, good info! Very interesting,Thanks.
