No thats from a rock that hit my car on the highway believe it or not. I got it fixed though. My hood is lined up fine, I think it's just the angle of the shot.

best brand is Philips 85122+ ...wait..our cars came stock with it..

I currently have Philips 85122CM (5000K) and I dont like them at all. I had them on my g35 coupe and they were amazing but somehow in the new G37 projector, it is not as effective as I thought it would have been. I knew I was going to lose output, but surprisingly I lost a lot and I dont like it..I commute mostly at night too..I should be reverting back to regular 85122 (4300K) shortly..For my HID bulbs, I ALWAYS go Philips..

this is the stock 85122+ Philips 4300K (my G35 headlamps)




then the 85122CM Philips 5000K




however in the new G37, it looks nothing as bright as in that picture..really disappointed..

Dude, yeah a cold front. I think i paid $230 for the Philips, $115 for the fogs. Ill see if i can get some shots against the garage door. Honestly though, i have no regrets buying them.

When you turn them on they are blue-ish, but fade to a more whitish color on the road. Looks sick to me. Oh and when you see it in the rearview from another car the lights have a blueish tint to them, but on the road its mostly white.

I love the cutoff line on these cars...

Well yeah, if you want a truly purple color i wouldn't go with these. They are the best compromise between a strong purple/blue color and the stocks though.
