I don't think, I know...
Well, I don't think you know either
A:
What do you want to accomplish by changing the bulbs?
My "confusing" recommendation is for replacement of the H7 headlight bulbs to give a light similar to the HID's and still be legal.

i want to change every light bulb for either high intensity HID LOOK y'know white lights for interior, and If you've seen the Sylvania Silverstar turn signal bulbs... they are a bluish clear but illuminate the DOT amber...
ALSO aside from the Low Beam HID for the Z there are 2 more bulbs in the headlight ONE is the Highbeam the other... some random ugly bulb that illuminates yellow... my question is do you carry ALL the bulbs that are used in the Z
1) The Low Beam (your H1)
2) The H7 headlight you claim to be better than stock
3) ALL four turn signal bulbs which ever size they may be
4) The ugly accessory light that has no funtion but to radiate yellow light in the headlight
5) Replacement interior lights that give off an HID white or bluish tint for all interior lights, (the front ones by the review mirror and the one in the trunk)

In a word, yes.
If you wish to buy only a couple of each type of bulb I can refer you to one of my retail distributors such as the folks that are part of the Keystone Automotive Group.
My business is primarly wholesale and the site listed in my signature is for some car clubs and group buys on selected items.
Most of the HID poser bulbs, ie. interior lights, are blue coated and sometimes of higher wattage. Make sure your wiring can handle the extra wattage and the housings can handle the extra heat generated.
These are all sourced from China currently, sometime repackaged in Japan and the US.
For headlight replacement bulbs this is one of the reasons I recommend Narva.
Proprietary design; the company is owned by Philips.
Light output is excellent and meets all ECE and DOT standards.
German manufacture.
Most of the other replacements are off-brands from parts unknown and have unknown life spans.
If you like Osram-Sylvania bulbs, ie 'Silverstars', buy them.
They make high quality bulbs; as does Narva-Philips.
Next tier is GE and Wagner. Some of the proprietary brands such as Hella are good as well. I have not had good luck with PIAA. Applications are nice, output is good but longevity is lacking. (IMHO)
For some of your applications you may be able to find someone manufacturing either wide or narrow focus white LED's to give you more of an HID-ish effect. We have been currently testing several suppliers, but have not found one that exhibits consistency and longevity necessary for my automotive applications. If a customer is spending upwards of 10+ times the retail price of a quality filament bulb you would hope for something that delivers.
I have seen quite a bit of talk on other forums with folks making their own individual applications with these LED's.
That may be your best bet for what you are ultimately looking for.

Are you incinuating that because i don't like cheap yellow lights all over my 35K+ car that i am a poser?
j/k...
actually i was looking into Clearcorners.com to do all this work but if you look at them their products are modified from your stock parts... so you have to take your parts off... send it to them and they reconstruct it with HID LEDs... but they are expensive... i am just looking for a quick replacement.... thanks alot
