Hi

As many of you remember, I was the first one that retrofitted a non-HID 300C with the OEM equipment.

Now I went a further step changing the D1S Valeo projectors and bulbs for a D2S Valeo projectors and bulbs.

The first bulbs used were original Philips 85122+ 5000k and now have installed the Philips Ultinon 6000K. The light output will be pure white with some tint of bluish and purple.

Need only to remove the 4 attaching screws from the projector to the light housing and install the new one and reattach them again. Also needed the D2S bulb connector.

You still used the OEM ballast and ballast to bulb connector cable.

Please, no blue non-HID knock-offs. Annoying as heck and it REDUCES output and INCREASES glare!

Get the lowest heat rated HID conversion you can get (like 4300k; 5000k tops) for whitest light and greatest output (longer life too).

I put on 4300k on my 300zx TT and it's perfect!

BTW, how hard was it to take out the headlilghts? I'm thinking of getting some halo rings put in.
