Wow I have to eat my shoe now. THat is good news for all. If it is $600 I would DEFINITELY get the 06 headlights. Boost you need to remove the top shielding on your D2R bulb to make it work correctly.

Just FYI i got Osram 4100K D2S bulbs for $60. SO it really isn't that pricey.

 

For $650, that's a great option. I'd go with those 06 lights if I didn't already have some other plans.

 

Here are the pics. The car will be finished this week.

thats great news
it works

 

Has the front bumper been installed with the new lights yet? Curious to see if the lights truly are identical!

 

If in fact the new '06 headlight assembly is just plug and play per say, I will selling my e46, audi TT - bosch ece (modded cutoffs) 2.26" single xenon projectors;3" e46 bi xenon bezel w/ 2.25" chrome rings & BMW Bezels for my cost + shipping of course... Stay tuned...

When this occurs for those interested PM.

 

so what did u do with ur old headlights? are they for sale? =) PM me please if they are

C6MT i'm interested in your e46 w/rings

 

Are the 06 projector Bi-xenons? or just low beam?

 

From what I was able to tell from looking at one the other day... its bi-xenon with an H3 foglight

 

the '06 lights are in fact bi-xenon. I have to correct what I said earlier, the '06 lights do come with ballast from the dealer, but they DONT come with bulbs. So its even better of a deal, cuz I thought that they came without ballast. Just to recap on what I had said, the '06 lights are cheaper than the older ones, only because they don't include the bulb. You have to order it separately. The old lights, you CANT order without the bulbs, and therefore theyre more expensive. Once again guys, keep in mind that the price I got them at is my price. I think the list price on the lights was like $500 a piece, and my price was $325. Diesal, the bumper should fit just fine. I'll post pics of it when the bumper is on. Klumzyee, I'll send you pics of the old lights. The left one has a scratch on the bottom cuz of the accident. And like I said earlier, its my best friends car, so I would have to ask him if he wants to sell them. PM if anything.

 

That is great news the 06 headlights work. Hopefully Grubbs or one of the other Infiniti dealers that sell parts online will offer a good price on the headlights.

Is this a difficult install (how long would it take)? Does the bumper have to be removed to swap the housing?

 

I noticed Performance Nissan Parts is selling the bi-xenon 2006 350Z headlights for $1,295 with bulbs. Hopefully the G35 headlights are less, but I doubt it.

 

so if i order the o6 lights,im getting the whole headlamp with the projector,but no blubs...for say..500 bucks a piece...? and i can use my old bulbs..?

 

I just got off the phone with Grubbs and was told that these are being sold or can be ordered for 776.00 ea.

Where did you buy yours at this price? / P/N?

 

Sorry guys... i don't know much about HIDs, does bi-xenon means that there is 2 xenon bulbs for low and high beams? how does it work when you swap?
Thanks.
