Lighting Guru's Step INSIDE

OK I have a weird situation. 2003 G35Coupe - previous owner installed 06 headlights.

I just realized that I can now possibly install the 194/168 for the clearence strips...Now my question: where this is a 2006 headlight, is there any wiring that will not be there etc. seeing as my car is a 2003 to prevent me from installing the clearence strip LED's? ALSO, I cant find a single write-up with pictures explaining how to do this.

Also, 1 of my headlights burned out, I've heard good things about the Philips 6000K headlights - are they really that good (ie: worth the $250) and what light do I need to buy if it's a 2003 w/ 2006 headlights?

Links are helpful. I searched for about an hour with little to no luck. Thanks guys!!!!

For the clearence strip you usually have to use a ccfl tube light I believe instead of a 194/168. The 194/168 are for your clear corners, license plate, some inside lights and more. Maybe someone else can help out more

You cant install the clearance strip bulb because you do not have a clearance strip you would have to cut you headlight up to ad the strip. The 6000k look very nice if you have one burned out now is the time to upgrade them

Clearance strip bulb becomes the city light in the foglight housing. Same bulb, same power source.

there are no clearence strips on the 06, you have to make your own if you want them.

Thats fine, I thought the clearence strip was cool but I can live without...


headlights no the other-hand, thats a MUST. You guys have any idea where to get a good price on these, I'm choking on the $300 I've seen with a quick google...
