Wouldn't a heat gun be just as affective, V35 factory lights aren't cheap don't wanna risk the money but sticking them in an oven?

Yes, a heat gun would be much better than in an oven. You can get temp set heat guns for under $100 and the good thing is that you only heat up the area you want to. Not saying oven baking is not good.

Why bother trying to convert US spec ones to RHD?

Link for chrome finish- http://www.importmonster.com.au/view?url=http://page17.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/v226738996&thumb=http://f7.auctions.c.yimg.jp/f44batchimg.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/7/2/0/5/carstudio2006-thumb-1329293216359153.jpg&title=V35 CCFL

And if you ask the guys nicely at IM the can get in contact withe the store and source the blacked out version.

Seems cheaper and easier to do that than get them from the states and then have to pull them apart before you even put them on the car.

+1 if they have them for the sedan!

This is a link for the sedan ones, I have a set on my car already.:whistling:

Low beam is H7, so you cant use original HID setup, you will need to get an aftermarket set.

On the plus side if you are running the aftermarket setup on your factory lights, like I was, you would only need to buy new globes.:cheers:

Chrome doesn't look too great man, I'd be looking into it further.

My car and wheels are silver so I want to keep it consistent. If I were to go black housing, then I would want to do a make over and it's money worth spent somewhere else.

Hopefully someone can start a group buy soon, it's frustrating looking at the driver side headlights... :(

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
