Aftermarket projector headlights

Hi, Im new to the forum so please pardon me if i am posting a question that has been answered already.

I have a 2004 G35 Sedan with the factory HID's. My headlights have become cloudy again for the 3rd time and I think its a waste getting them buffed/polished again.

I would like to get a set of projector headlights, I have searched the forums and I see that there are post about aftermarket headlights but it appears they are all for the models without HID's.

Has anyone with the factory HID headlights purchased/installed a set of aftermarket headlights for the non-HID models?

I have seen these on amazon but obviously the description is off.
Amazon.com: 03 04 Infiniti G35 Sedan 4 door Headlights Headlamps Head Lights Lamps Pair Set: Automotive Amazon.com: 03 04 Infiniti G35 Sedan 4 door Headlights Headlamps Head Lights Lamps Pair Set: Automotive

Thanks ahead of time

Hell No, aftermarket replacement headlights for the sedan aren't worth the $$! Maybe instead of having your headlights buffed invest in a 3M headlight restoration kit so you can do it right!

Professional detailers and some body shops can apply a clear coating as a solution to repeat hazing.

i need a pair as the old ones all have broken tabs and for 230 bucks they seem decent

unless you have those specific ones, dont just say all aftermarket ones are garbage please. While i understand that there are no headlight that mach up to oem, i am not paying 350 for some yellow hazy oem ones off ebay with a few broken tabs

We're referring to all the crud they sell on Amazon/Ebay! Here's a check with our sedan members that have poured all those major $$ in their rides and ask them what they've done for quality headlights. With coupes it's easy, sedans are a whole other chapter in "What to do!"

Output, quality, you name it

I and this ENTIRE forum will tell you that Oem or retrofit with tsx projectors etc, are the ONLY two choices to do it right

They are virtually the same as the Ebay ones. All made in china.

I'm sure they would get the job done, but don't expect quality to be #1.

You have to re clear headlights after a polishing.

quality will be subpar, your better off doing a retrofit. I just got finished with mines and the output is amazing. for the money you spend on those projectors you could do your own and guarantee quality.
