keep in mind this doesn't effect everyone. I've never been flashed
nor is my cut off all messed up.

 

damn that sucks Kid, were you alright after the accident?...ive had a couple of people tell me my lights are too strong but i havent recieved the letter from INFINTI yet.

 

you seriously don't know what you are talking about do you. Mines still a work in progress, but here's a little teaser of my crooked cutoff.

Also, there's no crazyglue involved, and no dust, thats what gloves and compressed air is for.
I certainly don't see "fogging like a mother" or "dust in these headlights I retroed.

Or how about IvoryGT's work


Care to show me the amazing output of your BMW now

 

Ya, I brought my car in to Infinit yesterday and they told me about the recall. They checked mine and said they were fine - no need to replace.

 

the last pic is horrible. cut off line is way off. worse then the output of the 06 G.

 

I just got mine replace by infiniti and i see no difference at all. What's the deal with this recall. Also the damn idiots put the city lights back in the car so i have to take it out again this weekend.

Can anybody tell me what the benefit was for me to take it down there. And how come the 05 headlights look more blue/white compared to my projectors.

 

glad my cutoffs are perfect

 

After getting the headlights replaced by the dealer, I checked my cutoffs and the right side is a bit higher than the passenger side. How can I fix this?

im wondering the same thing on that...anyone know why?

 

the recall was because the aim of the headlights were off and the driver's side cutoff was too high and out of spce for DOT. If the cutoffs dont line up, then it is an installation/aiming error on the dealership's part. You can fix it yourself with the aiming screws on the back, and by adjusting the mounting points and making sure the headlights are flushed with the surrounding panels.
As for the difference in color, the 05's use a d2r bulb which colorshift's over time giving the bluer color. The 06 projectors use a 85122+ bulb which is yellower in color, and resists colorshifting more and thus appears whiter. The lense on the projector is also fresneled which blurs the cutoff slightly and doesn't allow for the color to be produced at the cutoff like other clear lensed projectors such as the tsx's. A lense swap and color mod can fix this however.

 

[QUOTE=GThIrtYFiZle]I got hit from behind 2 days ago and brought my car to this body shop in LI that does all the work for Infiniti. I had also received the letter saying I should go in for the recall. The guy at the body shop told me they could bring it for me but when I told him what the problem was he said "DONT DO IT". The reason why there is a recall is cuz they made these too bright and high, and that the new ones would be cheaper. So I decided not to go.
Oh and yeah, some *** hit me from behind and messed up my bumper big time. Needed a new one.[/QUOTEI]

Nothing cheap about it, it fixed the alignment of the lights, your body shop guys are morons

 

You obviously have no f*cking clue what you are talking about....redlude's retro looks mint as hell and that cutoff color and sharpness destroy's a stock 06 G's. Lay off the keyboard you moronic troll since you obviously don't wtf your saying.

 

think his screen name says it all

 

Thanks for the feedback! Ok so how much does the lens swap and color swap cost? Is this something that an average person can do by himself?

By the way I got the city lights out... Does anybody know if that can cause me to get a ticket?

 

I just received my '06 headlight letter recall today and have the feeling that my local dealership is going to make it worse.
I don't like taking my car into service with those idiots.

Can fellow members mention their headlight aim difference after a dealership replaced their headlights?
