NJ - $65. HAHAHA, this was just days after how I posted about them being my "coolness" light. They aren't as blue as the pic shows. Sole driver on a road in the middle of the night + freshly detailed car + bored cop = ticket for the littlest things.

Re: Lights - the final answer!

I had PIAA Extreme Whites for my fogs but after seeing a post by Afro, those CATZ Aqua whites looked amazing. I installed the CATZ today and compares them side by side with the PIAA. As good as the PIAA are, the CATZ are much closer to the HID lights. From most angles, you cannot tell them apart. The HIDs are more powerful, but the color is pretty much identical. Thanks Afro !!

I'm also using the PIAA Extreme White LEDs for my clearance lights. Those look pretty good although I think they could me brighter. I'm still waiting on my clear corners so when they arrive, I have the Extreme Whites waiting.

Prior to doing my install, I was very nervous as the task looked very difficult. I spent hours searching directions. I found many helpful hints and I've thrown together a small web page that can hopefully assist others who undertake this upgrade. You can find it here:

Changing your G35 Fog and Clearance Lights

Hopefully someone will find this helpful.

Re: Lights - the final answer!

Hey you want the to upgrade to the better color HID's well i have you answer. The bulb number is D2R.
Our cars dont have Xenons, they have HID's. If you go on the net you will find 8000 K bulbs for 150 to 170 for EACH bulb.

I can get everyone the Philips 8000K D2R bulbs for $130. This price includes tax and shipping. So let me know guys if your interested. GO ahead and pm if your interested.
