question if i go for a really hight heat range will it discolour my headlights over time?

not to sure but if you go high temp bulb the colour is a blue or even purple and you have got a good chance of getting defected

the best ones to get are the 6000k and will keep you out of trouble

The globes themselves are 35W which normal halogen lamps are 50W or more, the Kelvin (K) rating of the globes has to do with the "Color Temperature".

higher kelvin rating means more energy needed thus more heat created?? or am i an idiot..lol. what wattage are these bulbs rated at. im able to change bulbs later on right. whats the price for another set of bulbs? thanks for putting up with these noob questions.

i think they are 30w or 35w bulbs also you can change the bulbs when they blow they are about $70 a pair of bulbs i think

I've been reading up on this and after reading the following page - swap hxxp to http first

hxxp://www.xenonlightshid.com/index.asp

This suggests that ballasts are unecessary for Xenon. So I am now wondering what the ballasts do? Could they be only required for H4 or 9004 or 9007 ie. low/high dual bulbs? Other reading seems to indicate that they are used for dimming.

hxxp://www.universalballast.com/productLines/ballast/hid.html (mentions different metal halide sodium etc) I am assuming plays a part in ignition of the bulb.

So do Xenon really require ballasts?

For 4door skyline r33 series 2 seem to have dual fillament bulbs, though I havn't pulled them out yet on the 4dr the headlights are not smooth but refractors instead. High beam comes from the same bulb spot when looking from the front.

Dont be another fool like some people that buy normal globes that say HID etc on them..

Ballasts are technologically complex units. They convert incoming power into a high voltage that ignites and maintains a steady stream of energy to the HID bulb. Without a ballast to convert and regulate the incoming power, the HID bulb will not function. A ballast also acts as a monitor for the lighting system. If there is damage to either the starter or the bulb, the ballast shuts down the flow of power to prevent further damage and exposure. Ballasts are designed to last several years with normal use.
HID (XENON) VS. XENON-FILLED HALOGEN BULBS?

Xenon has become a buzzword equated with brighter headlights. Watch out for imitators! Some bargain basement companies offer Xenon-filled Halogen filament bulbs. These bulbs have had a blue film applied to them. They are marketed as Xenon bulbs. While this may be technically correct, it is misleading. Xenon-filled Halogen bulbs will produce no more light than a standard Halogen bulb, and often less due to the blue coating. These bulbs are not as resistant to shock and vibration (require a filament), and require more power to operate than a true HID (Xenon) bulb.

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
