They fit but it's just the matter of how well they fit. The lights from EBAY-InfinitiSpecialist look great! The first set fit better but they fogged. Those were from some shop/dood in SoCal as well.

I'm just waiting for my wife to bring the digcam back home later then I'll post pics. You can see the gap if you are looking at both lights from the front of the car or you're looking down at the lights standing in front of the car. I tried to align them again but I gave up and decided to just be happy with them the way they are.

are you Infiniti Specialist on Ebay? if so, i sent you a message on ebay last week regarding if i bought a couple of items from you picked up if you'd give me a discount....

HERE ARE THE PICS... as promised.

I have 4300K Philips D2S for the Bi-Xenons, Piaa Yellow 194 for the city lights, Polarg Pure Yellow 55W H1 Fogs (not shown in pics), Chrome-Amber 7440 for the turn signal(also not shown). I used Chrome amber 194 bulbs in my clear corners as well... gets rid of that egg-yolk-look when they're not in use.

Notice the gaps... I tried to get it the best I could but I had to reduce the size of the pics and the pics didn't come out to great in the first place because I was in a hurry. The gap is about 1mm on the passenger side and about 5mm on the driver's side. If you stare directly at the front of the car, it's noticeable but I am SICK of trying to get it straight. I like them anyways!

Did some one say group buy?! I am down!

back on topic, my stock 04 headlights have a slight gap difference between them. It has always bothered but unless you are crazy like me you would never notice.

i will do a group buy...you can count on that, but i would like to make sure that the lights are not on back order. I do not like making people wait for anything. I am fortunate enough to be dealing with great people who understand the situation with the headlamps and have already paid for them.

.....Sky350gt. Send me a PM with that list of parts again and i'll redo the quote. Sorry if i never got back to you. It gets hetic sometimes.

I tried playing around with them SEVERAL times but it didn't work because when you tighten the bolts it lines up the same as before adjusting them. I tried holding them in position the way that I want them while my cousin slowly tightenly the bolts... still didn't work. We gave up after taking my bumper off four times.

It's fine but I am just being ****... lol.

I tried to wiggle them and line then up but the gap where the hood meets the housing is noticeably larger on the passenger side... I took my bumper off two additional times just to try to get it right but there is no way to get rid of that gap. It's really bugging me so I am going to try it again today... I know I know I am ****...

Does everyone else's fit perfectly???
I think you have to wiggle them into place to make the gaps right before tightening. I noticed it too.

One question I have for you.

When you mention fogging of the lamps, do you mean it fogs up in the inside of the lens? Or is the clear plastic in front of the projectors hazing where it looks blurry even on dry days?
