Sedan Headlights Retrofit

Has anybody retrofitted any projectors into their G35 sedans? I know it has been done with the coupe but I want to know if it has been done with the sedans. I only ask because I will be starting my retrofitting project and would like to know what cars I should get projectors from. Let me know people!

Lightbulb

What makes the sedan so difficult is the trim area in front and around the HID reflector itself is protruding. You are going to need a projector small in depth if you woul like to aquire stock adjustments and fit through such a tight space.
I just got the 2005 sedan, want to have some time before I start doing anything to it. Otherwise, I would of jumped at the opportunity along time ago. Since I have all kinds of HID projectors and all.

Valeo D2S/H7 projectors or Bosch D2S projectors might do the trick for the sedan. Keep in mind, I still have not closely examined the 05 Sedan headlamps to give accurate answers.

How realistic would it be to switch the high and low beam locations when doing the retrofit? I mean would it be possible to put the HID projector in the lower larger area of the high beam and then put the high beam bulb where the low beam is supposed to be?

Do you guys think the stock headlight adjustment still be usable if the swap was made?
