Cool Hid 6000k

Hi Everybody!
Just want to say thanx 2 who ever hosts this site. It's great. I'm a virgin poster. Hope this works... down to business... Just wondering if anyone has purchased H7 6000K bulbs for their 3? I am looking at some on ebay but i don't know if they will fit.

Thanx
NOD

The only word of caution I can provide with getting the "xenon" replacement bulbs for the car are the increase in wattage. You can actually melt the connectors in the bulb if it's pulling too much wattage from the connector. Most aftermarket xenon bulbs pull 100W. On my '02 sentra I had, I put in 100W bulbs, and melted the connectors on it after 3 months. That was not a repair I wanted to pay for again.

The stock wattage is 55W. If you can get a replacement bulb at that wattage, I would suggest that rather than having to pay the dealership to replace the connectors and possibly the entire wiring harness for your headlight assembly.

If you're looking for TRUE HID conversion kits, do a search for Philips HID kits... they're 6000k kit is awesome. I installed it on a 2000 Civic SI with a friend, and not only is it easy to install, it looks GREAT. If you're willing ot fork out the 600-700 bucks for a purely cosmetic upgrade, then Philips is the way to go.

HID bulbs are rated at 10,000 hours of operation... my friend runs his all the time because they look great. He drives on average about 3 hours a day... so that's a 9 year lifetime. Pretty good considering it's only 35W of power!

Lightbulb

Well i got my bulbs and put them in. Great improvement in color and output. I went with the nokya arctic white h7. Got em from coolbulbs.com for $40 shipped.
It took about 10 mins per bulb to install. I am very happy with them. Thanx for the help Jkap.
