Hi everyone, been a while since I posted last. I'm looking, preferably, for an OEM 2007 set of projector headlights for my 2005 Skyline 350GT. Failing that can someone point me in the right direction where I can purchase some quality aftermarket headlights. Perhaps someone has got a set for sale??

Would really appreciate your input and help in this matter.

 

Thanks in advance.

have done the research a few years back when i had a v35, oem will set you back about $2500+ or aftermarket from ebay about $500-700 and quality is not that good, basically you get what u pay and make sure you buy RHD specific from ebay as many are LHD specific Infiniti USA parts.

Thanks for the reply buddy. I'm not too keen ordering a set from eBay to be honest. I have a chance of obtaining an OEM set 2007 from America but they are all LHD over there. Do you know if the projectors can be pointed to LHD? You would think so given they are made at the same factory in Japan??

What about this company called Mars Sports in Aussie, ca anyone vouch for the headlights they sell? I saw these which look OK - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CCFL-Angel-Eyes-LED-DRL-Head-Lights-for-NISSAN-INFINITI-G35-V35-350GT-Skyline-2D/171267512522?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D37430%26meid%3Dc89a81dd056e47cbac70090dbf8e90ef%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D131139343838

Those Mars ones are halogen H7 projectors. Do you have factory HID? Better off with these, as they take the D2R bulb.

I have no idea how the output of those are, they could be just as bad as H7 projectors. Sticking a PnP HID kit into the halogen won't give you a good beam.

Projectors and reflectors are LHD or RHD specific, you can't buy a LHD projector and 'turn it into' a RHD.  It isn't a matter of 'pointing', it is the light pattern which is different..  And definitely don't put HIDs into projectors/reflectors made for halogens!!

Sorry man I don't have a V35. I haven't seen any output shots besides the one:

As you can see, rubbish lol. There is an old thread of people buying that second style you posted (Google "v35 projector headlights", the first SAU result), no output shots though. They seem very expensive to buy and retrofit, so I'd either retrofit the stockers or find a second hand projector set for cheap and open those up.

HID projector should give you something like this (FX-R untuned, unaligned, heaps of foreground):

Or get OEM ones: http://page21.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/j395434936

I had some from the States and had to just dip them a little lower then normal. But you loose light on the left side because of the pattern, makes it harder to see for e.g someone walking on a foot path.

Had them for over 5 years

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????

      Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
