If those are going to be in the 06s, I'll just wait for one to appear in the junkyard.

Dudes--relax, they are only headlights!

It's not as though you don't have headlights on your car right now and this is some amazing breakthrough that will allow you to navigate in the dark of night without the light of the moon!

Good luck. I cannot find a single or pair of 03-05 headlights for a decent price off a junkyard. They wants $400 per side for the housings alone. I need a spare set so I can retrofit my 05 housings with projectors. The total cost after all is said and done should be around $300. IMHO I think retroed 03-05 headlights look better than the 06 unit. The 06s don't have a clearance strip anymore.

You have obviously never driven a car with some good quality projectors. It is night and day my friend.

Fr0,
From the pics it does not appear so. There are several night shots floating around and it looks like it doesn't light up. I could be wrong though.

The junkyard idea is not a bad one. I have HIDs. I know projector HIDs are better, but I can see just fine with these lights for now. I'd probably only upgrade if I shattered a headlight or something.

I bet you anything the clearance strips are lit up by LEDS like the 06 350z's.

kinda like how the older bmw 5 series look with the rear tailights.

i can also agree!!!

i used to own the '05 TL(my brother has it now) and i LOVE my G and everything but, that's the only thing that i wish the G had, projectors!! and let's just hope they make a sharp cut-off like the S2K [] now that would be worth buying another set of headlights

Doubt it....... LEDs don't like the heat and they are close to both 55watt highbeam and a 35watt projector.

Come-on accordfreak, you of all people know this!

Well the murano has nice sharp projectors. The only problem would be this damn DOT code. I say wait and buy ECE ones!
