ok guys i am a newbee. I have a 2003 G35 couple and i bought the 2006 oem projection lights on ebay. They dont fit. Are the 2003 and 2006 really different fit or am i just retarded

 

Link to ebay post for picture confirmation? They should be a direct swap once you move your ballasts over. Then make sure they are aimed correctly

 

are you sure
other than the projector and a bit of wire difference the over all shape and tabs and clips are the same?. It seemed different to me like they dont fit. Can someone that did the switch verify?2003 oem and 2006 oem

 

so you took out your stock ones and tried to install the new ones and the holes don't line up? its a direct fit, if you can't get it to work I don't know what to tell you

 

should be a direct swap

 

It is a direct swap. See pics of mine below:

Looks like a direct swap for me.I will be changing mine today hopefully if i get my bulbs in the mail today.

 

it is def a direct swap for the housings did mine no problems at all, just adjusting them took some time

 

Just put them on today direct swap did not have to remove the whole bumper to install. Recommend the 5000k phillips on ebay for $70.They a little brighter more white than factory 4300k but looks blue from a distance.

 

Don't waste your money buying new "5000 K" bulbs on Ebay. They're the exact same bulbs as the ones that come in the 06 projectors. The model numbers are the same. I thought they were different too, so I purchased them and when I pulled out the old ones, the model numbers were the same.

 

I installed my flat black TSX colormoded 06's last night/this morning. The process wasn't bad but it did take a while.

I don't know about you guys, but my wire harness did not have more than about 1 inch of slack so it was near impossible for me to unclip the harness to remove the lights. It took me about 30 mins just to do that part alone. I ended up going through the fenderwell. On the 06's, I left the harness loose so if I take them out again, I have at least 6 inches of play.

One thing that was a bit difficult was putting the lights back in because you need to bolt them in correct so you have an even gap all around. I think mine is still off as there is a little gap between the bottom of the left light and the bumper. Not bad, but noticeable compared to the right.

 

Thanks everyone. They are a direct swapafter cutting up the harness to wire the projectors. I dont know what i was thinking when i tried to put them in the first time. They fit excellent

 

Curring up the harness What do you mean They are a direct swap, no harness modification necessary on USA version.

There should be no cutting at all.

 

Do these fit the sedan? or does the 06 sedan have these lights too?
