Help.... 06 head light brightness....
Hello, I'm new to this car and really need some help.... I own a BMW before I got this car.... When I compare the G35 headlight with the BMW's, the G35's seems alot dimmer than the BMW's... even the Maxima's, Z350's, Audi's or the 300C's or any other HID projectors are brighter than the G.... in short, my car's headlight seems dimmer than average... Does any of you find the same?? (It's a 06 projectors)
Also, do any of you know how to adjust the head light? they aim at a different level and is crossing too......
Million thanks in advance....

not sure about the brightness, but as far as your headlight alignment is concerned, the drivers side headlight is supposed to be slightly lower than the passenger. this is designed that way to prevent blinding passers by going the opposite direction on the road. with projector HID's, there should be a distinct line where you will notice your passenger headlight is slightly higher than your driver.

FWIW, I figured they were brighter, because when I pull into my garage and flip the brights on, we noticed that it lit up the garage brighter than the TL does. Probably not accurate way of telling, but it sure doesn't seem dimmer. Most likely the same.

mine is a 06.... everything is stock for now..... and the light are yellow.... sigh... same colour as the fog (well, close enough that ppl ask why the 06 infiniti doesn't come with HID's???) and is way much dimmer than average cars.... i notice this by having cars drive by side by side on the highway and their lights are over my light... i can see the edge of their light slow covering the road in front of me.....

As far as color.... I put a set of superwhites in my fogs, and they are still yellower than my hids. And my wife thinks the output on my G's projectors is the same as her TL's (judging by how it lights up the streets at night), so try re-aiming your lights. I always thought my G's lights were aimed too low from the factory compared to all my other cars.

the Maxima can come with either halogen or HIDs in the projectors. And projectors for the most part perform better than any reflector housing. The '03-05 G35 HID reflector headlights are decent for lighting, but are comparable in brightness to an average halogen reflector headlight IMO. The '06 Projector headlights are a big improvement over the older reflector design. I notice the difference every night I drive
