R34 Vspec Headlights

[laicosmo]

Hi all

I recently purchased a R34 Vspec, and I want to get a set of new headlights, but i'm very confusing on the part # from Nissian, I tried to search on this forum and online, but unable to located a clear answer. So i really need your help on this or pointing me into the right directions. 

1.)Is R34 Vspec and R34 Vspec 2 all share the same Headlight Housing? 
2.)Can I just replace the headlight housing instead of the headlight Assembly, the pricing for the Assembly is double the price of headlight housing?
3.)Is there any different between R34 Vspec housing between the late model and early model? 

Thank you so much for all you guys help.

The answers to at least one of your questions will depend on why you want to replace the headlights. What is wrong with them? f**ked lenses? Is the back of the housing OK?

R34 VSpec 1 and VSpec 2 do not have the same part number for headlight housings. Not sure where you got that. "Housing assembly" is the part you're talking about, "Headlight Assembly" includes things like the HID ballast, bulb caps, bulbs, etc. Whether you need a housing assembly or a headlight assembly depends on what's wrong with the headlight. You may not even need a housing assembly if your problem is just that the lens is damaged. If you want to swap to Xenon from Halogen then you will want an entire headlight assembly.

I believe the difference between the 1999-2000 headlight assembly vs 2000+ headlight assembly is this: "Xenon headlamps change from Series 1 cars to Series 2 cars. Series 2 cars (lense code 1618) have shadow chrome inserts as opposed to champagne accents on the Series 1 (lense code 1601) cars. Series 2 cars lost the light level actuator motors from housings activated via cabin switch."

There may be smaller differences though. I suspect this is why the some housings are half the price of others.
