Lightbulb Which of these headlights would you choose?

Guys,

I have a 2003 Infiniti G35 Sedan with HID Xenon Headlights, but they are yellowish and foggy to point that I'm about to purchase a new pair of headlights.
I have cleaned them with all sort of special cleaners including the sanding portion of it and after a month or so, they are back to yellow and dirty/foggy.

Anyways, These are my options and questions.

Option #1
http://www.octanemotorsports.com/Inf...duct_info.html

Option # 2 (Same as # 1 but black)
http://www.protuninglab.com/03ing354drnl.html

Option # 3
http://www.k2motor.com/03-06-infinit...projector.html

Questions:

1) Since my stock headlights are HID Xenon and the after market don't seem to be, what
I need to do in order to make them HID Xenon?

2) Can I utilize my stock Xenon HID kit with the new aftermarket headlights? If so how to
do so..

3) Out of all 3 options, which one would you pick? and if you have a better choice, please
add it to the thread.


The more info you provide the better. Thank you

Which ever one u choose, u will need the pair that is specific for stock HID. Then you will be able to reuse your stock ballast. I have a pair that is similar...

Went through this last year... I would consider having your old lights professionally resurfaced. Might cost you about $150, but will save you the headache of bastardizing your wiring or HID system.

sometimes even though u take care of the hazing on the surface the headlight cover is jus so badly yellowed that the cover itself glows yellow when the headlights are on at night. anyone have this issue? i did. looked really ugly. i jus replace the whole thing already

Ok so let's say I pick option #1 those are non HID Xenon after market headlights so I would still need the answer to the other questions above.
I read here that if you customize NON HID headlights (after market) with a HID kit the light it emits would be a little bit blinding due to the position of the bulb n material of the case.

I dont know how well the projectors are made but if you get HIDs on them, they shouldn't be blinding anyone. But if you got the ones without the projectors and you put HIDs in them and they will/can be blinding (there is a whole other debate between blinding people and not).

Installing an aftermarket HID kit isn't that hard. You have to drill out a hole on the cap of the bulb. Then stick the bulb through and use some silicone to make sure there arent any leaks from the rubber gourmet. You can pretty much mount the ballast anywhere that you see fits best.

I totally agree. Even if you are a professional n use the best products n seal them, they will never be the same as they were when they r new. I probably cleaned mine about 3 times n after a month or so they r back to yellowish not to mention that after the cleaning n sanding process was done, they were never as clear as a brand new headlights.
