Showing them on the road in the dark would show if they are quality.

Awesome looking difference! Hopefully they function as good as they look too , did you have stock hids you swapped over? Or is this a retrofit

No the stock headlights were HID Xenon, not halogen. I had to order the modules as well to get them back to HiD. The wiring took some work. But now I have HiD headlights and brights. Yes I had been cleaning up the stock ones but after some time they would fog over after a week or so. They were just so old that I'm sure water condensation was getting in there. I replaced the bulbs with 6000k and the modules are 40w. I have more detailed install pictures if you guys need them.

Here is where I got the lights. If you have stock HiD and you want to keep them HId you need to call them to ask for the modules and the special high beam / fog light bulb.

And no they weren't retrofitted from my stock lights, but they are retrofitted from another stock set of g35 headlights. I'll put up some night time pics. The projector on the low beam makes them so much brighter. It's amazing. And the brights now being hid it's almost blinding. Because normally the stock brights aren't hid. Only the low beam if you have stock hid lamps.

Ya I can send you some pics. The herd part is finding a place to put the modules for the hid bulbs. You need to ziptie them to pockets around the lights. And if you want hid low and high beams you will have two modules per side.the modules get in the way.

I like them minus the LED strip.

If only someone would offer an OEM looking projector headlight. No LED's!

Ya it's tough to find projectors without LEDs these days. Probably because they are so popular on the newer model cars from Lexus, Audi, bmw, etc.

But look silly when retrofitted on cars that never came OEM with them

What do you mean. The rear lights have tons of LEDs in this car. Although they are red!

I figure, if you dont like the led,s, just cut the wire that powers them.
