I've seen threads on headlights issue and how to repair.
My detail guy swears it is inside of light...he tried to buff out
But nothing worked..

Do these OEM light covers pop off or can be replaced?
Thanks

 

pat-a-cake pat-a-cake bake me a cake as fast as you can..roll em up roll em up and put it in a pann.

Bake em open in the over at 200F to open them n get to the inside. He may have not been buffing properly. can you post a pic?

 

with all the various recipes, products, and other processes for restoration of fogged headlights, some keep mentioning the removing of the protective UV coating...

Is this something to be concerned about?

Baking soda w/vinegar, toothpaste and even the commercial products would "appear" to remove any protective coating on the light cover..

Have '05 coupe, and can hardly see dropping $500 or so on headlights, but thats probably what i may do with 2006 OEM projectors HID...

thanks, newbie, so go easy man...

 

Idk if this will work for you but, my mechanic just buffed my headlights and it looked brand freaking new.

 

Lots of folks i know are replacing with 2006 Projector HIDS...

Given these pics, you think i should replace these?
thanks

 

Those^ don't look that bad
Mine were wayyy worse.
I will tell you though, if you do decide to pick up 06-07 projectors, it will be VERY worth it

 

thanks...
What would be the recommended manufacturer to get?
Where is best place to purchase?

thanks again

 

Manufacturer is Nissan.
Few dealerships still sell them for close to a grand I think if not more (think I was quoted 1300)
Best bet is getting them used like most of us <06 guys have had to do
Lot of guys go back to stock reflectors and will sell you a set for $4-500 with your lights included

 

Not sure why your dude said there was something on the inside. That simply doesn't make sense if they are still factory sealed. Regardless, the inside of the lens cannot be buffed/polished. That will ruin them, period.

However, those really don't look bad from the pic, but if you don't think they're clean enough you can do a buff and polish. If they looked worse I'd recommend a wet sand with 2000 grit first, then the buff and polish. Your dude should have been able to handle that.

You other option is to replace them. If you choose to, I recommend selling the ones you have and putting the cash toward some fresh ones. I drive an 05, and prefer to keep it original with the reflectors. I also like the clearance strip (with 194 LEDs) which the 06+ lamps don't have.

Good luck.

 

Mine are worse.

 

With our first gen G35 coupes the best upgrade you can make is the '06+ projectors! I put this mod off for years but once done I love the new brighter headlights where you can see while driving at night.

thanks....
2006 projector HIDS...
what is the brand most liked by the G35 group?

I looked at Andy's aftermarket site, and it looks like there are 4-5 different brands of projector lights....

thanks

 

oem 06+ only please.. none of the cheap halo looking craps

 

Where should I buy these?
Looks like they are hard to find / discontinued

 

The best vendors and prices can be found on our Marketplace, only buy OE Nissan projectors...Gary
