These lights will be BETTER than you can even imagine :) ... I am thinking about wiring mine up so the halos stay on during the day too! I have a couple of spare T5 led globes I can sell to whoever wants them for their parkers too - I think they cost me about $10.

No idea until we get the lights - but I am assuming that the CCFL halos are wired to the stock parkers - surely it is very easy to separate them and connect them to accessories so they come on when the car is on. We will figure it out when we install the lights.

Disappointed that I missed out on the group buy. Does anyone have any idea where I can still get them or anybody else interested in another group buy?

Email Jesse at [email protected] and tell him you missed out on the group buy, but you want a quote on a set through him - it will cost you a bit more, but anything is doable.

Just paid $198 for a single to Sydney. yep let the fun begin. I'll hold off on installing so I can feed off everyone's experiences and tips/traps, hahaha :yes::action-smiley-069:

I'm paid for , not that this will hold anyone up. Hopefully as the word on the street is it is just unplug the old and plug in the new. I do have a 12/05 Coupe so how hard can this be??????

If the coupe' lights are anything like the sedan ones, the halos wont be conected when you get them. Giving you the option to splice into the parkers/led's or setup a different connection for daytime running lights.

Stoked to get these bad boys on. But since my wiring is a mess (past owner or during compliance, didn't know what they were doing), so I will have to get it all rewired. Any help would be appreciated.

Any idea on what you guys are doing with your old lights? Is there just going to be a mass amount of lights appearing on ebay.lol.

Tyler, Nuwan from Bayswater may be able to help. I spoke to him today and he said if bolt on and off, it will cost $140 (he needs to physically look at the new lights first to confirm). However, if we do a group install, will be cheaper. Plus he may be interested in your old lights so it may end up with cash your way instead. Let me know if you guys are keen.

I can install in GC area...

Will need HIDs swapped from old light to current (pretty fidly and stops the bolt and and off from happening as mentioned above)

Globes swapped over but ideally you need new ones as you have lens (D2R) not projector globes (D2S) and will not get full benefit from light output

Front bumper needs to be partically removed also

Can also help if you want indicator to be re wired to blink and not be constantly on - otherwise its just orange (is in usa models anyway)

If you want LEDs or Halos or Both to constantly be on (during day) if they not already set up like this.

I did have some problems with one of my headlights so it may be worth buying new globes. Can anyone recommend what I should purchase?

I did i heap of reading and best ones (for most light output) are

Philips D2S 5000k or 6000k 85122WX Ultinon

Philips D2S 85122CM (~4800K)

we should see if we can get a group buy on them ?

Another group buy! Well I would probably be in. Do you have any further information or pricing, links etc?

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
