hey guys, my mom just bought a early 03 g35 sedan, i was under the impression the car had factory HID's but on both high and low beam it looks like regular halogen. how hard is it to upgrade the headlights to the xenon hids?? i would like the factory ones if possible none of that ebay junk LOL thanks and by the way this forum is awesome!!! makes me wanna trade in my dually for a g of my own!!!

 

New headlight housings, bulbs ballast...

Your looking to spend a grand or so...

 

so is it plug and play tho?? like all i have to do is plug the ballast into the factory harness once i swap the new headlights in??

 

yes...

 

I am working on my retro with projectors and hope to have some good shots in the next few weeks as they start to come together. There are a bunch of ways to go about it, I would highly suggest looking at a retrofit of some sort to put some hids in a projector and not just putting hid bulbs in a halogen reflector. They are built differently to focus the beam in different ways, you will be throwing off a good amount of glare just putting a plug and play kit in.

You can have a retro done for about the same price and have much better results in the long run.

 

thats what i meant i was wanting yo use factory stuff and not a ebay style kit. i was wanting to so the swap using factory infiniti stuff. our car is a early 03 and like i said seeing all the other g35 with factory hids makes me hate seeing the halogens LOL

 

I think you misunderstood his response. There are 2 factory options for the sedan, halogen and HID, neither of which are projectors. You can buy the factory HID housing, ballast, and bulbs and simply replace the halogens you have (plug and play). But blk06x is talking about modifying the factory HID housing and mounting projector HIDs instead of having the reflector style. This is definitely NOT plug and play.
