Not that I've heard of, they remedied the crappy ring issue on the HR. You should be good to go.

couldnt figure out why the amber leds on my halo's wouldnt work when the car is off... turns out the ground in the headlight plug is switched. why tf did they switch a ground wire. anyway, tapped into the grounds and ran them to a couple bolts for now. retrofitting can be a real pita sometimes lol

Yeah it's a b****h most of the time. I'm putting a prototype LED projector into my new bike and it has been tough.

After seeing all the etching at HIDplanet I am getting interested in it. Especially because the STI-R lens would look great with a Kawasaki logo.

Usually what "gets people" on retrofits is the surprise wiring like you are experiencing.

My Coupe took it on the chin today after a truck dropped some lumber in front of me..It tore the little airdam that attaches to the now mangled splash pan/lower engine cover. Tried to find the part number to get a replacement but no go... Does it come attached to the new OEM part already? No pics in the Infiniti micro fische...still looking...

Cleaned up the rough hole from the 6MT swap and fabricated a base for the 6MT rubber shift boot. Not a big deal, but it should keep out most of the hot air from under the car

My fuel reading gauge doesn't work and has never worked properly ever since I bought the car but the dealer tells me this today:

"It looks like the cluster the part on the dash that gives fuel level reading is what caused the fuel sensors to malfunction. It's basically like an electrical triangle the tip being cluster then it sends message to the fuel sensors when we did initial test on cluster it seemed to be ok. Hard to be 100% unless car is running. Now we have good sensors and it shows us that cluster isn't sending good current to the sensors. It will definitely have to have the cluster changed. $1250.00. We may be able to use the old fuel sensors and take those off of your bill but there is no way to be 100% sure until we can get the car running."

So my fuel reading gauge is what caused the fuel sensors to fail? Seems super sketchy. Is this total bullshit?
