I own a 2003 Diamond graphite G35 coupe, the current headlights are so foggy and yellow it's sad and disgusting they also have internal small cracks. I now saved up enough money to buy some headlights. I don't have enough for the OR 2006+ ones though. I understand they're the best but way too expensive and rare here in NYC.

Any suggestions on aftermarket headlights? I like the spyders a bit but idk which color to get and which model. I know my car has stock reflector lights

 

Do not get aftermarket lights. Save the money and pick up a used pair of your year on ebay. A little polish and buffing. They will look brand new.

 

They are not "expensive and rare in NYC"
Shipping is an option too...

You think you got problems with the ones you got now? Throw in those eBay ones and you'll just **** away your money...and have shitty output. Live with the ones you got now until an affordable set will come up. Lot of guys on here are willing to drop a bit on their prices

Be patient

 

I somewhat agree. Is there anywhere you guys suggest looking like junkyards, ebay, craigslist idk

 

Here for one.
eBay and craigslist also. You may have to buy them one at a time like I did with my tails but it's worth it to not have ricey headlights.

Google "search all of Craigslist" and type in what you want. Then reach out to those people and see if they'll ship

 

My friend bought a 03 Eclipse GT convertible with Spyders on them. The light output is incredible and it's yellow light!

 

lol...

I assure you they're not as good as my TSX's lol...those are incredible
.also yellow light is nothing to be happy about??

This entire forum knows the garbage those headlights really are. Same with all the other fake aftermarket stuff that people try to say is "just as good"

One more time-just keep lookin dude

 

Call turbo toys in tampa fl. They sell tons of used parts.

 

I bought apair of aftermarket headlights before for a civic I had. Fit just fine, no problems, and they looked spanking fresh because they were NEW.

Buy what you want man, spend your money in what you want.

Worse case scenario if you dont like the fitment, send them back and get a refund. #done

 

I currently find 20 used lights on ebay. Excellent condition. 2004 pair under 350.

 

Save for the 06-07 lights. Don't bother with crap aftermarket lights

 

Bad advice ^ you want an upgrade not the same old crappy yellow headlights!
Good advice ^ there is a Driver member selling his perfect/mint condition '06 projectors on our Marketplace. The '06/'07 coupe projectors are the best upgrade we can make for our first gen G35s! Do not buy headlights with broken tabs, they're likely stolen and will cause you headaches! Aftermarket headlights have major issues, stay with Nissan projectors!

There are no aftermarket headlights that match the quality and effectiveness of OEM headlights, especially the 06-07 projector lights. Aftermarket headlights for our car tend to leak, haze, crack, melt, etc. The LEDs/halos and bulbs go out very quickly and the light output from the projectors is very poor. OEM projectors may be expensive but they are worth every penny.

 

There's OEM aftermarket lights for the reflector style now. Hopefully they'll start making OEM projector ones. Would make for good alternatives

 

Yea get some projectors. I hated the 03-05 look on mine and got a great deal off a guy parting his out. They make the car look way cleaner modern. They don't haze and fog up either.
