Wouldn't a heat gun be just as affective, V35 factory lights aren't cheap don't wanna risk the money but sticking them in an oven?

Yes, a heat gun would be much better than in an oven. You can get temp set heat guns for under $100 and the good thing is that you only heat up the area you want to. Not saying oven baking is not good.

Why bother trying to convert US spec ones to RHD?

Link for chrome finish- http://www.importmonster.com.au/view?url=http://page17.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/v226738996&thumb=http://f7.auctions.c.yimg.jp/f44batchimg.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/7/2/0/5/carstudio2006-thumb-1329293216359153.jpg&title=V35 CCFL

And if you ask the guys nicely at IM the can get in contact withe the store and source the blacked out version.

Seems cheaper and easier to do that than get them from the states and then have to pull them apart before you even put them on the car.

+1 if they have them for the sedan!

This is a link for the sedan ones, I have a set on my car already.:whistling:

Low beam is H7, so you cant use original HID setup, you will need to get an aftermarket set.

On the plus side if you are running the aftermarket setup on your factory lights, like I was, you would only need to buy new globes.:cheers:

Chrome doesn't look too great man, I'd be looking into it further.

My car and wheels are silver so I want to keep it consistent. If I were to go black housing, then I would want to do a make over and it's money worth spent somewhere else.

Hopefully someone can start a group buy soon, it's frustrating looking at the driver side headlights... :(

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
