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?

Just sent Jesse an email as I also cleverly missed this buy.

I have these lights already..

They come wired so it's a direct plug and play exercise.. The Halos and LEDs come on if you move the stalk to parkers.. They also come on if the lights are set to auto and the headlights come on.. If you want to have the halos/leds always on you will need to cut and connect to something like accessories (so they are always on when the car is on) They DO NOT come with any bare wires.. It is all plug and play if you have the stock HID ballasts/globes and igniters.

The current harness on your factory lights are not used at all.. as long as you have the original unhacked car headlight wiring harness (there is no need for this to be modified by compliancing etc so it should be intact and untouched)

The indicator bulb that comes with the lights is a dual filament bulb.. so its always on (USA style) You can buy a new bulb or just remove the connectors to the extra filament (takes 10 seconds to remove)

Lastly $140 to install these lights is a joke.. it took me maybe just over an hour to do both lights.. I am not a mechanic with access to a hoist.. I did it on my garage floor laying on cardboard with no jacking up involved

If you want new Bulbs

I'm very happy with them.. Don't go above 6000k though

Just contacted Jesse about these for myself.

Anyone else keen on them? I'd like to save a few buck if I can if you're interested as well.

Cheers

OK, scratch that.

No new group buy is going to organised.

How blue are the 6,000k globes? I don't want any police attention, and my old HIDs @ 6,000k got me more than enough.

You are talking about the coupe' headlights where I was not, I was talking and displayed a picture for the sedan lights.

The coupe lights should be a straight drop in affair as the coupe' was released with projectors, the sedan however was never released with projectors so they are complete aftermarket hence the difference.

I doubt very much those are "real Philips" esp since thats in AUD... They will colour fade fast. Even from america from a guy that just sells them and gets good rates is $90... bulk buy 10+ for $70each shipped

if you want 6000K then the best are Philips D2S 6000k 85122WX Ultinon @$90 if you want the most output of light then Osram's D2S CBI 66240. Also sold as Sylvania but $160

​$140 is to make a business run, if you are confident you can do it yourself

you do have to know "how" to do it. If you know then it will take an 45mins max.. more if you taking your time.

Doesn't get any easier than this guys: http://g35driver.com...mple-steps.html

Edit: Comparison between 4300K and 6000K globes on the g35. I will personally be getting the D2S 6000k (preferably Phillips).

Yep it really is that simple - except you don't even have to undo the 10 bottom 10mm bolts - you can undo all the top ones and just lean the bumperbar forward/down and there is plenty of from from memory.

But to make it more fun, the 4 Adelaide guys are going to get together at my place, sink piss and do all the cars in one hit!

So what globes are people putting in them? High beam & low beam options?

High Beam

Philips X-treme Vision H1 +100%

Low Beam

Can anyone with the lights installed please park the correct distance away from a wall and take a pic of the low beam and high beam, and if possible standing infront of the passenger side light, i want to see what how the drivers side cutoff is. Thanks alot!!

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
