though I think they look nice(05s) and at night too, I agree with your comments about the uniqueness of the 03.5s tails.

Also, the original backup lights have horizontal lines that flow with the leds from the tail lights--the round version backup lights look distinct and nice with the original tails. Like the fx version.

G35 had the leds first, yes. But, the fx had the leds paired with round backup light first. And thats ok.

Files to big. I dont have my PDF writer anymore so I can't take stuff out of my original DIY.

PM me with your email address and I will send it to you.

Unless anyone here can host this file? (322K)

03 Tail lights with 05 reverse lights are the best. The '05 tail lights do look a little better at night, but the '03 tails look better in the day time.

Personally, I love the 05' tails. It's one of the reasons I bought a new 05' instead of a used 04'.

Yes, I love walking away from the car at night and seeing how it looks.
