tekazgtr1984 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 My assumption is they are of the xenon/HID type but I'm having trouble trying to figure out what kind of bulb is used. I want to switch to a higher kelvin (K) to match the lowbeam which is probably somewhere between 6000-8000K, and have something more bluish-white than the OEM yellow colour (4300K?). Thanks!

TooQForYou Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I'm not sure what bulb they would be, because here in the US those projectors are high-beams not DRLs. They're both still halogen though, not xenon/HID. IIRC the stock low-beam xenons are about 5100k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOT Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) It is a DR2 bulb. 6000 looks perfect white. I tried 8k in my qx4 and it looked blue and "cheap" to me EDIT: sorry your asking about the highbeam, I changed mine to silverstar bulbs but I forget the type of bulb Edited December 18, 2010 by WOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooQForYou Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I recommend silverstars for halogen too. I had them in my last car which didn't have xenons, and they were so much better than regular halogen. Still don't hold a candle (pun ) to xenons though.

But the DR2 bulb is for the low-beam/halogen? TooQForYou: agreed, xenon is the only way to go. But the high-beams aren't xenon projectors, just regular halogen, too?

TooQForYou Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 The low-beams are D2R xenons. The high-beams (projectors) are 9005 halogens. This might help: http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProducts/AutomotiveLighting/LampReplacementGuide I'm not sure if it's the same for Qs made for Canada.

It's exactly the same, except the high-beams have the DRL module spliced in to the circuitry. Thanks for the bulb number; now I know where to look.

tekazgtr1984 Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 I ended up going with Sylvania Silverstar Ultra bulbs... Now if only Nissan had made getting at the bulb easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
351cleveland Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 F.Y.I the 2001-2003 infiniti qx4 stock xenon low beams are a 4300k color temp. I wanted to see if you guys actually new what type of bulb type are the stock fog lights, and what type of hid replacement kit would work with them? I am going with the ddm 35watt system but need bulb-type info. Thanks and sorry to thread-jack:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekazgtr1984 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 No worries, your question applies to the bulbs which is why I started this thread in the first place. The low-beam bulbs are D2R and is a 35watt system, IIRC. I'm sure DDM would have the right kit for what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
