I was mad Friday, got to the dealership to pickup my car immediately after flying in from Houston and the work on my front wasn't even attempted. They're supposed to be working on my paint this week. Luckily I'm flying again and dont need a rental. I should be able to get a side by side on here next Saturday. If you want a pic of just the replacement, I can get that for you tonight.

 

Sorry for taking so long, I finally got around to installing these yesterday. Overall, they were great quality and look just like OEM. We'll see about longevity and I'll report back. Here's what you've been looking for:
The Old and New

Wow. What a difference! They look great!

 

watd u do exactly im a little slow. u bought aftermarket replace lights and swapped parts over to it? why?

 

Go to headlight depot buy the 2003 halogen one. Heat the headlight in the oven at 250 for five minutes. Must place the headlight on a piece of wood or the plastic will melt. Pry one side of the headlight loose keep doing this until you get the lens off. I did it to my G35 sedan work out great.

 

I went with the cheaper option, the more expensive premium just adds a warranty from what i remember. I went with the cheaper since they were the same part.

Some parts have to be swapped to work correctly, like the heat shields and HID ballast.

The quality on these really was impressive, I wouldn't bother trying to replace the lens onto the older housing. That's a a lot of effort for the same end product pretty much.
