You could at least use proper English because we can't even understand what you are asking.

Your local store is , what year Maxima do you have? If 02-03, you only need new bulbs - D2R bulbs.

I have the Ultinons 6000k and i really don't like them, since i lost like 20% of the output... Their colour is purple and look ricey to me
Just my $0,02!

Seems that Philips Colormatch 5000k is the way to go

Mine is '00. i guess the meaning from the computer from the local store is the BALLAST. and i guess my car don't have it. do you think the ballast from '02-'03 can be put to my car. 'cause i can go to the junk yard to get it for cheaper price.

Yes they can be. You will also need a $50 wiring kit, then install it all.

If you want to change 00 to 02/03 headlights, it's about $450-$500(used or maybe new?) and it comes with HID and probably it's 4300k (whitish-yellow) and it's legal. I did, just because I didn't like 00/01 headlights, and you can't put hid on ebay ones (or at least that's what I did research and found out about, unless you do a 'retrofit,' but that's ALOT of work and more $$$). If you get an aftermarket kit, you get the color you want. Are these 02 xenon kits oem ones for 02/03 models (comes with ballast and bulb)? If it's 02, then the bulbs are d2r and they won't fit into you 00 headlights which uses H4 bulbs. If you don't want to change you headlights, I'd say check out the Good Deals section of this forum. They have a cheap hid kit sell going on. Cheapest hid kits i've seen so far. But if I'm not wrong, hid kits for H4 cost almost double the price of other bulbs, because it has both low beam and high beam in them. Good LUCK!

They are a great company known for quality products etc.
Plus their D2R bulbs actually come with the glare shroud on them, unlike many other brands which make them just like the D2S bulbs, but with different bases.
that is correct the osram is in deed 4100k but the 85122 is 4300k 85122+ is 4500 and the 85123 is a 5000k bulb.

Brio, don't want to sound rude, but Philips does not make 6,000K bulbs. They stop at ~5,000K for their color match bulbs (+85122). Anything above that rating is aftermarket.

For brighter/more light, the lower the K the better, with 4,300K the best (3000K is filtered for the yellow look).

After some searching I admit I was wrong, but I also found out that many Philips bulbs are fake, so caveat emptor.
