looking at the title, it looks like they are made for a Infiniti G35.. it also has US in the title.. I can't read japaneese, but this makes me think it will be for a US spec G35, so probably LHD.

Well it states they are made in Japan so you would think RHD

I asked a Japanese friend to ask 'if they are for RHD or LHD car' and the seller replied with 'they are for RHD and LHD car'..........which doesn't help what so ever :rolleyes:

HAHAH *insert confused jacky chan meme here* that's so good hahaha. It confused the hell out of me when it said Skyline V35 G35 Infiniti...

So let me get this straight, the covers on my lights say they are HID but in reality they are Xenon Halogen for compliance. So does this mean i have to buy Xenon lights in order for them to "plug and play" and no mucking around buying new ballasts OR if i buy HID lights will they plug straight into the current ballasts and work with no fuss.

Cheers.

If it was complied properly, the HID lamp and ballest would have been removed, and a standard halogen lamp and fitting installed. You don't need to buy Xenon halogen lamps, as they are just normal halogen lamps with traces of Xenon gas added to the halogens inside the lamp.

If you have normal halogens, and you want to go back to factory HID headlights, you will need to get a factory HID ballest as well as the HID fitting and re-wire everything back to how it was originally. Or you could buy aftermarket HID headlights, which would also need an aftermarket ballest.

That said, there are plenty of examples of V35s which were not complied properly and still have their factory HID lamps.

Thanks mate. So if i were to buy these lights - http://www.importmonster.com.au/view?url=http://page17.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/v247914314/&thumb=http://auctions.c.yimg.jp/f42batchimg.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/7/2/8/7/crystaleye78-thumb-1305511072260843.jpg&title=V35

Would i need to change anything at all for them to work?

Can't say for sure.. they should be a straight bolt in, but when it comes to wiring them up, I can't tell if they have ballsats for the HIDs (the info seems to suggest they are HID).

Correct me if i'm wrong but if you remove the ballast from the headlight, that there would be a big hole in the bottom of the headlight housing.

That being said, your factory ballast should be still there.

The easiest way for YOU to find out what is required for YOUR car is for YOU to have a look at what is actually there and what is not. Once YOU have done this you could ask the community for their input on what to do.

We cannot see your car so we don't know what is on it and what isn't

Good point, just haven't got the time so everything has to be done on the weekend.

I do, its fine, hey dont even go up to the left that much, they are pretty flat

See this is what annoys me, i have had SO many people be like "ohhh no don't get them you will blind everyone blah blah blah" then when i ask someone that ACTUALLY has the lights they aren't that bad. My mate has USDM projectors on his Ralliart and they're fine be barely had to adjust them. I'm going to buy the 06 G35 projectors.

The thing is, do you really notice the RHD headlights lighting up the left side of the road? not really, so you probaly aren't going to notice LHD headlights shining in the face of oncomming traffic either.. especially with normal street lights lighting the middle of the road.. that doesn't mean they don't.. there is a reason they make LHD and RHD headlights, and not 'one size fits all'

Turn on your normal headlights at night then stand about 30M in front of the car, but off to the left, you will notice how bight the lights are in your face. this is exactly what it will be like for oncomming drivers if you use LHD headlights.

Not really no, i will try this though. But with my lights, the Right side Top light doesn't work so it's not going to be that accurate. I can always adjust them a bit, besides i've seen countless amounts of cars at night that are very bright even some stock lights in new cars. I think it was a camry last night blinded the hell out of me.

The lights that you posted a link to from IM are the same as what was obtained in the group buy last month.

They will fit, straight plug in. You just need to transfer over your existing factory HID setup.

I am guessing by your continual post's of questions about this topic that YOU still haven't had a look at what is actually bolted to YOUR car? :domokun:

Yes that's correct, i've got a quote for the 06-07 G35 projectors which are xenon (same as my current lights and will plug and play) i'm simply trying to get as many opinions as i can from people that actually have LHD lights and i'm interested if they've had any problems with them before i go and spend $670 on something that i'm going to be frustrated and unhappy with..

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
