Heads up on the 03-06 coupe headlights
it's at the bottom of the lamp, halogens wouldn't have this for the 2003 before Xenon was standard but the Projector Light RH and LH kit wouldn't have it
i believe your correct. i have a 03 coupe and it came with the reflector hids. i just reused the oem ballasts when i upgraded to the 06 head lights.
900 dollars for the OEM headlights, thats nuts. I don't know why companies keep making those ugly *** Halo projectors that are all busy. Seriously, if they made just normal OEM looking projectors, those would sell like hot cakes.

I agree with this completely. Who knows- with the price of OEM headlights going through the roof like it is, hopefully an aftermarket company can see this as an opportunity to make a normal looking projector set as an alternative and cash in. I would love to grab some OEM projectors, but it won't be in the budget until next year realistically.

People don't just want the newer headlights because of haze issues, they want them because they have projectors and not reflectors. My headlights don't have haze either, but projector is simply better than reflector.

Yes the main difference, is the headlight set, (part of a campaign) didn't come with the Xenon control unit, (300$+) but if you didnt need the Xenon control units, you'd come up ahead than if you bought 2 new ones
26010-CM40C - $857.80 List ($685.00 G35driver discount)
26060-CM40C - $857.80 List ($685.00 G35driver discount)
so it's 500-600$ for the set minus the Xenon control units with the projector kit
or both headlights with Xenon control units for $1370.00
if you needed the Xenon control units
Projector Light Kit - $500
Control Units - 28474-8992A Qty 2 - $482.42 list ($385 G35driver discount)
I was suprised to see the Projector Light Kit discontinued

i have the 06 on my 04, my high beams and low beams are the same bulb,and my fog light is in the bottom slot, is that normal lol? i got the car this way,never noticed that until i changed the bulbs for inspection. i might get aftermarkets so i can take my 06's off for the winter,but im not sure if they will work because they have high and low beams separately.
any input?

If you are looking to change you headlights just because they become yellow, just buy a mothers restoration kit, it works, when I got my car both headlight were yellow as hell, spend couple hours with that kit and it's like brad new now.
