Hey,

So I want 8000 lights on my g37 09 coupe. I dont know much about cars so I'm asking for help.

First- do g37's require hid installation or can I just replace the bulb to a bluer color?

Second- is it easy to do-it-yourself or would you recommend I get professional help. I would rather do it myself to save money but I don't want to mess anything up.

Links to related posts would help.

Thanks!

Your G should already have HIDs.

And you can just replace the bulb yourself. There's a really nice DIY on here on how to do it. Check out the DIY section, the DIY is stickied.

 

What he said .... but please don't go with 8000k bulbs, you aren't driving a Civic or Scion.

 

Thanks guys! I'll check the DIY.

why do you say that? do you recommend I go with a whiter or bluer color than 8000?
In Canada anything over 6000 is illegal so I don't want it too blue if that's what your implying.

 

Sandhu.

8000K is WAY blue and, really, WAY ricer. I think that's what 2008G-Man is eluding to...

OEM is 4300K. Most guys here go with either 5 or 6K...and that makes a huge difference IMO

It would help to clue us in as to your ride/year...

Good Luck.

 

I'm not a math major but 8000 is higher (aka over) 5000. 8000 kelvin will give you almost a purple (past blue) tint and much less lumens, not to mention it will look like ****. Go with 5000k and they will be white (with no hint of blue like 6000k) and offer the best lumens in that kelvin range.

 

Thanks I will stick with either 5 or 6k. You were great help

 

Thanks 2008G-Man, I think I will go with 6k. I am looking for a bit of a blue tint. I have a black on black. I think it will look nice. Unless I can find something between 5 and 6.

 

I think Orsam is offering a 5.5k blub?
