Will 2011 G37 headlights fit on a 2008 G37?

The reason I am asking this is I want black housing headlights and nobody makes aftermarkets and the 2011+ G37 have black housing headlights. I want to put them on my 2008. Both would be from coupes. All of them I see advertised on ebay say 2011+, but when I look up from bumpers they say 2008+ are all the same fitment so I am confused why the headlights wouldn't be the same. Anybody who knows for sure please let me know. The headlights aren't cheap so I don't want to buy them and they don't fit.

Why not sell your 2008 and purchase a 2011?

Have you read the FSM Lighting section for both vehicles?

http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/G35/Sedan/2008/EXL.pdf


http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/G37/Sedan/2011/EXL.pdf

See EXL -page 7

You may be asking for more trouble than its worth?

Are the BCM and IDPM the same in both vehicles?

And the wiring harness's and connections?

Wattage and current draw?

Good luck

I'm not going to sell the car to buy one a newer one just for black housing headlights. I don't need them that badly and I prefer the 5 speed automatic transmission on the 08 over the 7 speed. I'm not worried about the wiring. I can handle wiring. That's simple. I'm worried about fitment.
