Aftermarket Headlights

[gtrtech]

Disappointed that I missed out on the group buy. Does anyone have any idea where I can still get them or anybody else interested in another group buy?

Just sent Jesse an email as I also cleverly missed this buy.

I have these lights already..

They come wired so it's a direct plug and play exercise.. The Halos and LEDs come on if you move the stalk to parkers.. They also come on if the lights are set to auto and the headlights come on.. If you want to have the halos/leds always on you will need to cut and connect to something like accessories (so they are always on when the car is on) They DO NOT come with any bare wires.. It is all plug and play if you have the stock HID ballasts/globes and igniters.

The current harness on your factory lights are not used at all.. as long as you have the original unhacked car headlight wiring harness (there is no need for this to be modified by compliancing etc so it should be intact and untouched)

The indicator bulb that comes with the lights is a dual filament bulb.. so its always on (USA style) You can buy a new bulb or just remove the connectors to the extra filament (takes 10 seconds to remove)

Lastly $140 to install these lights is a joke.. it took me maybe just over an hour to do both lights.. I am not a mechanic with access to a hoist.. I did it on my garage floor laying on cardboard with no jacking up involved

If you want new Bulbs

I'm very happy with them.. Don't go above 6000k though

Just contacted Jesse about these for myself.

Anyone else keen on them? I'd like to save a few buck if I can if you're interested as well.

Cheers

OK, scratch that.

No new group buy is going to organised.

How blue are the 6,000k globes? I don't want any police attention, and my old HIDs @ 6,000k got me more than enough.

You are talking about the coupe' headlights where I was not, I was talking and displayed a picture for the sedan lights.

The coupe lights should be a straight drop in affair as the coupe' was released with projectors, the sedan however was never released with projectors so they are complete aftermarket hence the difference.

I doubt very much those are "real Philips" esp since thats in AUD... They will colour fade fast. Even from america from a guy that just sells them and gets good rates is $90... bulk buy 10+ for $70each shipped

if you want 6000K then the best are Philips D2S 6000k 85122WX Ultinon @$90 if you want the most output of light then Osram's D2S CBI 66240. Also sold as Sylvania but $160

​$140 is to make a business run, if you are confident you can do it yourself

you do have to know "how" to do it. If you know then it will take an 45mins max.. more if you taking your time.

[Megahowler]

I didn't know how to do it.. I googled remove G35 headlights... and BAM! youtube video

Can you post the link

[Heretical]

Doesn't get any easier than this guys: http://g35driver.com...mple-steps.html

Edit: Comparison between 4300K and 6000K globes on the g35. I will personally be getting the D2S 6000k (preferably Phillips).

If you fancy a more detailed video

Come on guys surely if it is this simple we don't need to take it anywhere!!!!!!!!

[Nightcrawler]

Yep it really is that simple - except you don't even have to undo the 10 bottom 10mm bolts - you can undo all the top ones and just lean the bumperbar forward/down and there is plenty of from from memory.

But to make it more fun, the 4 Adelaide guys are going to get together at my place, sink piss and do all the cars in one hit!

Can anyone with the lights installed please park the correct distance away from a wall and take a pic of the low beam and high beam, and if possible standing infront of the passenger side light, i want to see what how the drivers side cutoff is. Thanks alot!!

i just want to clarify that my coupe has D2S D2R Xenon HID 8000K bulbs already, and what ever the factory high beams are. do i need any other bulbs to make this work?

[manc01]

My lights are due to be delivered tomorrow. I still would like to know what low/high beams to purchase
