Hi all, i have a 2003 G35 coupe

the headlights are already hazed / oxidated and i am thinking about getting a pair of aftermarket one from ebay

now, all the aftermarket headlights for coupe are only compatible with HID model, which unfortunately.. mine is halogen model

Can i convert from halogen to HID bulb and then use those ebay lights?
If i can, what are the parts i need?

Thanks!

 

*rest of the forum stay cool I got this**

The eBay lights won't work on your car. No matter the year or halogen vs projector.
Your only option here is to replace with oem reflectors from 03-05 or better yet, replace with oem projector headlights from 06-07

No other option

 

lolololololololol

u 2 funy, thatz sum god advices............

 

Thanks, do you mean something like this?

 

Price is very right on that projector. If you buy them separate you have much better odds of saving money.

Another option is to buy a set of eBay new reflectors and swap the lenses onto your current headlights. You would need to do some research and have to DIY a bit for that one though.

There is also companies who will sand and clear coat headlights. But the good ones are quite expensive.

Good luck.

 

thanks for all your inputs
my co worker was very certain that my car is the halogen model

I kept wondering how i ended up with a halogen model, knowing how rare halogen models are... so i pop the hood to see it for myself, turns out i have HID after...

 

So as Urban says, you can get your OEM lenses polished and clear coated. There are DIY kits, but usually the clear doesn't hold up against the UV rays. Professionally done is expensive, but worth it to have them spray with auto body clear. I had my body shop so mine three years ago ($100 each) and this is what they looked like last month:

Good luck.

 

 

But did it pass inspection?

 

Quite pleased with the end result

 

Looks nice.

 

Hhhmmm, I wonder if he got those lights from ebay. Lol.

 

Naw, three-pack from Costco. Volume purchaser.

 

ATTN all future NOOBS all coupes came with HID headlights
