+1

I'd like to know the HighBeam Functionality as well.

Same as stock. The lower portion is the stock H4 fog/highbeam.

I've seen the 06 HID projectors in person. This is one of the most "boring" hid projectors I have ever seen! I dont know how they were able to manage it, but theres absolutely no color division in the cut-off! The color if the HID still looks like the 05, except its just spotlighted. Even the Nissan Maximas and 350z HIDs have a nice color cut-off! Very VERY disapointing!

I would choose my dual HID reflector housings over these projectors any day! The only upgrade I would consider is a projector retro upgrade from a BMW.

are you serious?....

Maybe the D2S bulbs were not broken in yet and the color shift hadn't occurred.

There's also a lack of color in the FX35/45 cutoffs. But I'm sure that an 06 owner can get some nice color with shield mods. But you'd have to take apart the headlights to do that, and you might as well retrofit a 03-05 light at that point. But I haven't seen any high quality pics of the cutoff from more than 10 feet away, where pretty much all projector beams appear sharp.


Most retrofitters on hidforum like Stanley projectors now, from Acuras and Lexus cars. I drove behind a new LS430 the other day. That truly is the best projector out there now, with the S2000 a close second.

Need clarification...
This is what I saw as the part # for the 06 G35 Coupe from Infiniti:

26010-CM40A RH HEADLIGHT
26060-CM40A LH HEADLIGHT

Really? I just ordered mine yesterday, and they were 26025/26075. The guy on the phone even explicitely told me about the need to get D2S bulbs.

If no one posts one up, I will tomorrow. I should take shipment on the lights tomorrow and I should be able to bolt everything up right away.

The lights are very nice. Color output is white. I don't know why it is yellow looking in that picture.
