Lamp Replacement Guide
#34
Hey you guys I am really new to this website and any help form you guys would be greatly appricated. I just recently got my G35 and noticed that one of the little lights strips next to my head light has gone out. I wanted to replace them both with nicer lights as the current working one has like a little yellow tint to it. How do I replace them and how do I make it so that it isn't that nasty yellow? Thank you all in advance for your help

CT DMV requires just that they are amber or white. You have to check with your own MV dept in MA. I suspect it's the same, I checked with CT DMV before I went to front clear sides with amber bulbs, and technically I could have used clear sides with "white" bulbs. I didn't; I used amber bulbs and clear lenses. IMHO other people are not expecting to see "white" bulbs - they're expecting to see amber for the most part.
Just search on "MA dmv turn signal color" and your first page hits will probably cite the regs, it's a really common question.
Just my preference to use the amber bulb. It's not like during the daytime you can really see the bulb anyway when it's turned off.
PARKING LAMPS - Parking lights are required on each side of the vehicle on both the front and rear and shall be non-flashing. Front may be white or amber and rear must be red.
TURN SIGNAL LAMPS "Front may be amber or white and rear may be amber or red."

03-05 headlights have amber lenses and clear bulbs. 06-07 headlights have clear lenses and amber bulbs. The turn signals in the 06-07 headlights do NOT serve as parking lights as they did in previous year headlights. They only blink. I have yet to find a pure white turn signal bulb. I had PIAAs and they were ok, but not pure white.

I c here that the 7443 are dual filament and are for the rear and front signal lights. But the rear didnt stay on in parking lights mode like the front amber one. According to this, the rear signal light should be on in the parking light mode and blink in signal mode right? just like the front. I have a G35 03 Coupe and the rear signal light only turns on for signals, not for parking.
My questions are...
Is this a mistake in the thread or are my G "both" rear signal filaments of the bulbs working and both "parking filaments" are damage ?I didnt c any G with the rear signal lights on while in parking??? So this should be a mistake.
Taking in mind this.. Technically, the front plug of the HD signals will fit in the rear Tail light signal hole, so if the stated above is right ( the rear signal didnt stay on while in parking) I can mod the rear tail light signal to stay on only installing a front bulb plug of the HD signal and wiring it to make both filaments work?

Hey I have a question.
Is this how a 04 headlamp is supposed to be when it is set on AUTO at night? As you can tell also my strip bulb is out (I didn't notice until just today) so I'm going to be replacing that. The light under the one that is on, is a very yellowish one. I'm wondering if everything is installed correctly as the dealer I bought this car from really installed some things incorrectly..
