I agree. But what do you expect from headlights that are mass produced? Once these lights become available from the manufacturer, I'll see about getting shots of the output.

Damn, we've (05-06) got no options. We can't even get eBay lights to use for retrofitting. Retrofits for us (unless you can have your car be down while you work on the headlights) is more costly than for 03-04s since the cost of OEM headlights is quite a bit.

Honestly if the projectors end up being on the bottom it'll be pretty much be impossible to use the upper portion for fogs seeing as it won't be able to cut through the output of the projector efficiently. It'll most likely be just high's only which is one of the reasons I choose to keep my stock headlights. I like having fogs.

Most companies like these give you bootleg halogen projectors, good for a mounting location for a good projector and a decent clear lens, If anyone is planning on getting these would be just for that. Dump the projectors dump the halos and just use them as a relocated mounting location and theres a quick and easy retro. Just be sure to use Bi-xenons down there not to loose you high and (low) beams.

Not a fan of those lights at all
+1. If someone is trying to sell me a headlight that is "more brighter", then I'm gonna go elsewhere.

Hi everyone

As I was in the process of deciding to becoming a vendor in this forum, did a quick search and I notice that someone got our video up already.

So some of you might have concern about the fitment of both 03-04 or 05-06. These headlights are for 03-06, yes! 2003-2006 V35 sedan.

We have develop the projector for both HIGH / LOW beam on the bottom and has move the fog to the top. I will get some night picture with low beam/fog ON. So that way it will solve the questions of the beam pattern.

I will be in contact with ADMIN about becoming a vendor. Once everything is ok, i'll make sure you guys are taken care of.

how do they fit 2003 to 2006? the shape of the headlight is either for 03 04 or 05 06 since the shapes are different. Also is there an option to get the projector bulbs in a brighter HID like 6000k or 8000k?

^+1, these cannot be a direct fit for both 03-04 and 05-06 Sedans, the shape of the headlights and bumpers is different between the two.

^HUGE gap = DOESN'T fit I'm all for "Wrong Fitment" but not when it comes to headlights.
