Hi everyone, been a while since I posted last. I'm looking, preferably, for an OEM 2007 set of projector headlights for my 2005 Skyline 350GT. Failing that can someone point me in the right direction where I can purchase some quality aftermarket headlights. Perhaps someone has got a set for sale??

Would really appreciate your input and help in this matter.

 

Thanks in advance.

have done the research a few years back when i had a v35, oem will set you back about $2500+ or aftermarket from ebay about $500-700 and quality is not that good, basically you get what u pay and make sure you buy RHD specific from ebay as many are LHD specific Infiniti USA parts.

Thanks for the reply buddy. I'm not too keen ordering a set from eBay to be honest. I have a chance of obtaining an OEM set 2007 from America but they are all LHD over there. Do you know if the projectors can be pointed to LHD? You would think so given they are made at the same factory in Japan??

What about this company called Mars Sports in Aussie, ca anyone vouch for the headlights they sell? I saw these which look OK - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CCFL-Angel-Eyes-LED-DRL-Head-Lights-for-NISSAN-INFINITI-G35-V35-350GT-Skyline-2D/171267512522?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D37430%26meid%3Dc89a81dd056e47cbac70090dbf8e90ef%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D131139343838

Those Mars ones are halogen H7 projectors. Do you have factory HID? Better off with these, as they take the D2R bulb.

I have no idea how the output of those are, they could be just as bad as H7 projectors. Sticking a PnP HID kit into the halogen won't give you a good beam.

Projectors and reflectors are LHD or RHD specific, you can't buy a LHD projector and 'turn it into' a RHD.  It isn't a matter of 'pointing', it is the light pattern which is different..  And definitely don't put HIDs into projectors/reflectors made for halogens!!

Sorry man I don't have a V35. I haven't seen any output shots besides the one:

As you can see, rubbish lol. There is an old thread of people buying that second style you posted (Google "v35 projector headlights", the first SAU result), no output shots though. They seem very expensive to buy and retrofit, so I'd either retrofit the stockers or find a second hand projector set for cheap and open those up.

HID projector should give you something like this (FX-R untuned, unaligned, heaps of foreground):

Or get OEM ones: http://page21.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/j395434936

I had some from the States and had to just dip them a little lower then normal. But you loose light on the left side because of the pattern, makes it harder to see for e.g someone walking on a foot path.

Had them for over 5 years

to bum it just in case if anyone needs like a brand new right headlight from V35 2001 excellent condition

Or open them up and install some RHD HID projectors ;)

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
