Planning retrofit - 2003 G35 sedan
Hey guys, let me know what you think of my planned retrofit please!
I am trying to figure out the best option for fog lights...should I get a halogen low beam projector and aim them down, or a halogen fog light projector and aim them at the same angle as low beams? i.e. fusion fogs. Fusion fogs would also be great in the event that I want to use HID bulbs in the future...
- Ebay black housing headlight assemblies (200$)
- FX-R 3" bixenon projector ($315) - will go in high beam / fog light bucket. Will function as high/low
- Clear lens (Free if I go with FX-R)
- Osram CBI bulbs
- V3 Tritons in turn signal - will be wired as DRL / turn signal and will dim at night. ($100)
- Red xb led halos behind the projector shroud. Might black out part of the ring to give "angry eyes" effect ($50)
-Morimoto Ballasts
- G37-R or Gatling gun shrouds
- Halogen projector. Will go in low beam bucket. Will function as fog light
- 3000K Halogen bulbs.

Personally I like the G37-R shrouds better and I think those V-Leds are overpriced. I mean seriously, they are almost as expensive as what I paid for my CBI's!
These are the ones I purchased for my temporary lights. They are plenty bright. I'm currently debating putting these in or a custom array in... Decisions decisions.

I got my projectors with ballasts and shroud from a G37. The shrouds are a pain in the a$$. I should have bought some new ones from TRS. They are the other G37 coupe style.

However I dont think that the G37-R would go well with that bezel ^
I think that a more simple shroud would compliment the fusion fogs (Im assuming that I wont actually be able to use a shroud on the fusion fog)
Something like Apollo 2.0/3.0, Iris or panamera. The appollos are supposed to be great with xb LED rings, and I could cover up some of the slots to give it an angry eye look.
