Safe? In what way do you mean safe? As in the world will end if you install them?

Mebbe you could search? There's lots of threads on Z32 HID upgrades.

Ahaha i guess i mean is it okay to install them into a Z32.
Is it compatible with the car.
I had a 35W 6000K Hid kit in my Z before but i gave it to my friend.
Now I wanna try to put on a 55W 8000K Hid kit.
Just trying to see if its okay to installed them into the car.

I still don't get it... So are you worried that the extra 20w is too much? Are you worried that the color change from 6k to 8k will hurt something? Are you worried that they won't fit?

If you are buying the kit, it should come w/ the wiring harness meant to hold a 55w power supply, right?

55w 8000k will look about the same color as 35w 6000k. The higher wattage tends to wash out the color of the bulb a little.

They do get hotter than the 35w, but I dont think they get as hot as a regular halogen bulb.


I say go for it. And post before and after pics.

I think 8000K on a White Z would look great.
