Altezza Lights


Recommended Posts

so... to see if i can rescue the thread...

Given that what i gather the op wanted was the housings (the projectors just happen to be a part of that)

and given the fact that the reflectors are highbeam only and should be used when traffic is around anyway...

anyone know what it would take to buy a set.. and swap the projectors with a JDM projector??

All of u are right but ur forgetting one thing these headlights are made by humans just like us not God we CAN modifiy them any way we can with just a little bit of skill and lots of common sense.

Btw the headlights i bought from infinit us for 800$ is not an aftermarket replacement but it is 100% genuine Nissan product .

Ok for the sake of argument lets assume u can never correct a left hand drive headlight and ur involved in an accident the headlight will be f**ked any way for insurance investigation.

trust me there is a adjustment inside the headlight to make projector look up or down or even left and right.

But since all of you are rocket scientists and knows ur shit like me so You electrical,magnetical, nuclear, supernatural,chemical mechanical biotechnicals geo physicist engineers are correct , Happy now?.

cheers

im really not trying to put down your idea, i never said they were crap lights or anything negative, i only said that US headlights can NOT be used in RHD vehicles.

no amount of adjusting will correct the way the projector is configured, yes you might be able to use a JDM projector in the headlight unit, but this will mean disassembling the headlight unit and then glueing it back together. not impossible!

seeing as youre going to do it anyway, and if your insurance doesnt pay out, please dont come on here crying when your $40,000 car is now worth $2k.

please dont post on a public forum and then throw the CORRECT information back into the faces of the people who are only trying to help.

The chances of finding JDM projectors is slim and they're expensive, so RHD specific retrofit parts are the next best option. Having said that, I wouldn't have purchased USDM lights in the first place as we've already stated they are not suitable.

In the case of claiming in an accident, the Insurance company will try to get out of a claim any legal way they can. You're car will be thoroughly investigated for any unspecified modifications & customising to use as an excuse not to pay out.

Here Awais, do some homework on how to retrofit the projectors. You might go that step further and look at a Quad setup. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to separate fact from fiction :rolleyes:

Blanket statement which is not entirely correct, any modification to your headlights not meeting ADR or NCOP can still result in a defect notice.

Genuine Nissan USA still doesn't make them original AU fitment when you're talking LHD v's RHD headlights. Yes you can adjust the projectors left/right & up/down to a minimal degree, but how do you "twist" the projector so the beam cutoff is angled the correct way?. If it was so do-able as you say then all LHD & RHD cars models would share the same projector unit.

i think there are companies that modify your lights (they are in japan) and send them back to you.

import monster can/might facilitate that procedure for you. but you MIGHT need to purchase the lights from the yahoo auctions (via import monster) for them to then resend them to the company who modifies them.

there are several options for you.

There are quite a few V35 lights on Yahoo in Japan, some secondhand and some aftermarket (some with rings, anybody gone down this path?

I went down this path on the V35 we have at home. Sisters BF bought her some Angel HID Rings. I paid $80 to get em fitted locally and ADR Approved by the same fabricator.

Came up good. looked nice for about 7-8months. until the rings just stopped working. but I think they were just dud rings.. if you find a good quality set($$) then it would turn up nice. and Legal!

Link or PM me?

Thanks!~

    • That's true. However, this problem has started since the tuning. First time with the return journey from the tuning. But yes, the pipe was clogged with dirt and rust. That was certainly due to age
    • Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.
    • Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.       
    • If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.
    • If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
