Can someone please tell me if I can directly fit Series 3 projector style OEM headlights into a 2003 Series 1 V35 Coupe.

My original 2003 lights were totally destroyed by hail and I need to replace them.

The best condition replacements I have found and best price are Series 3 OEM projector style will they fit?

Any answers very much appreciated I couldn't find anywhere.

Thanks for the posts on this forum so much useful info!!!

Hey Andrew,

Yes they do fit, just make sure you use the ballasts from your Series 1 head lights and it should be easily plug and play. I used to run Series 3 OEM projector headlights and had no issues with them. They look 10x better too. Good luck!

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. I just wanted to be sure. Now I know the OEM Series 3 lights fit I just need to source some which looks like it will be a major challenge! I would settle for the Series 1 or Series 2 but they need to be in very good condition with no parts missing. New part prices are scary! Anyone who has L and R V35 OEM headlights in very good condition please message me. Some I have seen are yellow as or are obviously off different cars. Fingers crossed...

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?
