I've just noticed the beam pattern on my G35 sedan was different than any other car I have with xenons. It seems less sharp and more fuzzy, aswell as the cut off line is not perfectly straight, as in, it has what seems to be jagged edges with dips in the pattern. The other than i noticed is at the center of the pattern, where the xenon projectors shine directly onto, it seems to have a BIG yellow and fuzzy circle. Is this normal at all?

Here are pictures to illustrate!

looks like you have wore out your HID housings... Time for new ones.

 

So, what does that mean exactly? New to Infiniti's and all... My Lexus beam pattern and cutoff is perfectly straight and sharp, so I was curious to if my Infiniti was messed up, or I am just worrying about nothing.

So enlighten me please

 

What year and type of G do you have? have you messed with the bulbs at all? Seems to me like the bulb may not be seated correctly.

 

I've been reading up on these forumsand it seems that I may have not installed the bulbs with the ceramic coating/return wire facing down, which I didn't know they could fit any other way anyways? Is that what would have caused this possibly?

07 S-model, I do not have Adaptive lighting. Anyone have a picture they can post of their beam pattern?

 

They should only fit one way, the correct way. Are they AM bulbs?

 

i have the same issue with my coupe. hopefully some expert can chime on how to fix this.

 

They are Philips Ultinon 6000k bulbs... And even so, as you can tell, the beam is not blue/white like Ultinon's should be either...

 

Your beam pattern is the exact same as mine. People have changed the projector lenses and have gotten much sharper and cooler color temp so I am thinking our is like that because of the lenses.

 

The lenses would certainly sharpen up your cutoff but I'm not sure it would rid you of those yellow hot spots. They to me, seem like a bulb issue. How hard would it be to try some Philips 85122's in there to see if it changes? Do you have another set of bulbs to try?

 

I have Philips 85122wx (Ulitnons) in there. Do you think it could be that the return wire/ceramic wire is not facing the right direction? BOTH bulbs do the same thing, so having 2 bad bulbs seem slim. Ive just seen numerous post on these forums saying to make sure the wire is facing down, I just had no idea it could go in any other way... Or does it go in one way only?

Someone post a picture of their beam pattern/cut off please!
