So I put on my second set of 06 projectors. The first ones were fogging. The second set is fine but now I am experiencing fitment issues.

My left and right headlight housings have different gaps. Maybe I am just being **** but I just assumed that they would fit perfectly like my 05 lights but they do not line up when the bolts are tightened. 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 have a bit of a gap difference too, it bothers me, but i don't want to have to take off my bumper just yet, i'm probably going to wait until a bulb goes out then bolt them in perfectly

 

Hey you still have the first pair of projectors with you? BTW...is it a simple plug and play? The 05' ballasts will work on the 06's?

 

The ballasts are attached to the housings... they are included whether you order just the housings or housings w/ bulbs. They wanted 300 for the bulbs... yeah right. You can get aftermarket colored bulbs for less than that.

 

Can you take a pic of the gap?

 

I'm gonna post pics tonight on this thread... I tried taking pics last night but it was too dark and the flash was eliminating the view of the gaps.

 

How much do the housings run?

 

So do you still have the 1st set of 06' projectors with you?

 

i've seen it on Ebay for around $580, but i read they are on back-order...

 

Hey Disco Monkey, what was the reason to them getting fogged up? what state you live at? did you get them exchanged from the dealership you bought them from??

 

^
That's y I wanna see if he still had them so I could reseal and use them

 

Nope I exchanged them.

 

I am in CA...

Apparently it had to due with shipping or storage of the units because they both fogged. I have no problems with the new ones. I checked and heated them and tried to reseal... didn't work. I wanted to just keep them but they were fogging pretty badly so I just opted to send them back and I waited over a month for new ones. They told be it's back ordered for at least 2-3 months if you pay now for new buyers.

 

Are you talking about buying them from the Infiniti Specialist store on ebay? If so, he just registered to this forum. https://g35driver.com/forums/lounge-off-topic/80340-just-introducing-myself-board.html

 

hey, whats going on disco_monkey...hope your lights are o.k. I was unaware of the fitment issue with them. I will call infiniti tomorrow and ask if there are any minute styling changes between 05-06.
