Jdm Black Headlights G35 Sedan!
I'd stay away from the headlights on ebay unless they are 'OEM' and not OEM 'replacements' (which I think all of them are). If your lenses are fine, mod your existing headlights. If you need new lenses and want to take a chance (re-use the bezels and lenses from ebay ones onto your OEM headlights) just be cautioned that they do not mate up 100% and the quality is NOT that of OEM. There are small imperfections with the ebay ones.
I am experiencing some peel now with one of my lenses (ebay lense) and not sure if its something I did or just the quality of the lense.
Here's a thread I posted up when we did my headlights

I am going to buy some OEM halogen headlights and use those bezels and lenses. The price we pay for perfection

man there's like 200 threads about ebay headlights...
I have the "crappy" ebay headlights and love them to death. I was tired of messing with my factory lights. I painted my OEM headlight housing black, but was tired of them hazing every 2 months. I had some extra money in paypal so i purchasd the headlights. I've had them about 4 months now and they are still in perfect condition. They fit perfectly fine.

I wouldnt use it on the 2nd one either, even though it doesn't say anything.

I always thought it was because the reflectors of HIDs/xenons and halogens were different... if you use HIDs with a halogen reflector, the light would glare all over and not be focused like it should be... and while projectors are better controlled, there is still a difference between xenon projectors and halogen projectors.
How silly of me to think this...
