Where are you sourcing them? If they are made for a LHD car, they won't be legal in Aust.

straight from japan, I been asking for more info, not to sure yet but i think its for RHD but it cost about $1500, but damn that looks good,

pv35gt8 is buying/has bought a set if you really need to wait for a "review".

Whether or not he'll give you one is another matter, so maybe PM him.

As an aside, what would the review contain? "I like them, they look good on my car and let me see where I am going at night!"?

^:rofl2: That about sums it up! But seriously, $1500 sounds a bit rich. Pretty sure I've seen DIY's on G35 driver. Maybe costs $50 - $100 for the parts...?

Here you go, found this one (of many) http://g35driver.com/forums/body-interior-exterior-lighting-diy/336660-diy-led-headlight-thread.html

you could make your own like i am.....

Twin parabolic lenses

8000k HID's

Modified factory HID looms

just undecided as to what kind of parker/indicator setup to make. I do like the new Merc and BMW LED setups. These V35 headlights just arent a good shape to begin working with

i need new headlights and got quoted $2500 each for OEM by nissan in newcastle. wanna go aftermarket so i dont have the same problem and i cant find any black mounted ones from japan. so i found some on ebay from america. why are they illegal if theyre made for a lhd car on a rhd car?

park your car facing a wall at night and look at how the light pattern angles up to the left... more light on the houses and footpath... this is what RHD headlights are supposed to do.

if you use LHD headlights, the pattern would be opposite... this light would blind oncoming traffic .

im using LHD headlights but am installing RHD lenses to fix this problem, which is a very very complex thing to do. it involves destroying parts of your new lights to do the mod.

Hi Mate,

I have a v35 coupe and wanted to buy aftermarket headlights (full housing) I hear alot about you cant put LHD headlights on a RHD car, do you know of anyone in AUS or other countries that sell aftermarket Headlights for V35 Coupes.

your help will be greatly appreciated

I have a set of the V35 projector headlights fitted to my sedan.

They can be purchased from IM, for under $1000. :thumbsup:

Low beam is H1 so if you are running the original HID setup in your car, it is no good. I was running aftermarket so all I had to do was buy new globes.

As for performance they are great, much better than the original lights. :cheers:

the current project...... not easy at all building these from spare parts

3E44D4C2-51D7-4451-8694-205B43359163-1400-000002681B12CDDD.jpg

im using the $150 ebay black housings (yes, LHD) that suit H1 low beam.

Baked in the oven and seperated.

Have cut out the H1 low beam fitting and in its place I have inserted a parabolic assembly from an NA Ford Fairlane (edit - theyre actually from a Mazda 929/Eunos 300M). This means that the original reflector is no longer used, it now gives me a RHD cutoff beam as per Australian Standards.

The parabolic assembly is being modified so it will take the D2R HID bulb from the V35s original headlight.

Fog and high beam will still come from the bottom H4 halogen and lense which is a flat beam and doesnt need modifying, but i'll probably install another parabolic lense later on

The whole kit will cost me about $400 plus a few days work getting these things built. its proving to be difficult to get right.... theres a LOT of cutting and drilling to do, and it cant be un-done

nice work there mate. It's definitely the way to go - if done right it will achieve much better output than the taiwan lights.

old na fairline projectors are an interesting choice - hope they have a decent output. are you planning to install some shrouds?

I haven't started mine yet - but hopefully going to get onto it before winter rolls around.

I've bought a dremel - and got all my retro fit parts - i just need to get the balls up to cut open a set of OEM lights!

Sorry just remembered that i had ditched the NA Fairlaine assemblies.

Im actually using Mazda 929/Eunos 300M parabolic assemblies. theyre quite a deep assembly so fitment is a bit tight.

The NA Fairlane lights were junk. the parabolic lense was not attatched to the reflector. the whole thing looked to be a last minute add-on to the ford to mimic real parabolic lenses.

As for shrouds.... im undecided. Dont really want chrome in there and I kinda like the industrial look of having it all on show..

Dremel is good for final touches, but cant handle doing the cutting. Ive already destroyed a flex shaft...

what do you recommend for the cutting?

I'd be afraid to take my 4" angle grinder anywhere near a set of OEM headlights.

You can always paint the shrouds black? or maybe gloss black for a bit of contrast to the matte black housings?

hack saw blade in a knife style handle ended up being alot quicker for the main cuts, then dremel the fine details

unless your dremel comes with a mini circular saw style blade, thatd work better. i only had angle grinder style blades

4 hours of fiddling with this D2R globe fitment and It just doesnt want to happen. if i downgraded to halogen globes it'd all be finished now hahahah

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
