HELP: I would like a Step by Step on how to remove/install V35 Coupe Headlights

Hey gurus! '05-6 V35 350GT Coupe

I am in need of some help. I've got myself some new Headlights (full assembly) and cannot for the life of me find realiable Step by Step instructions on how to change them. All I find is Infinity G35 ones and someone said that they are different. 

Any help as soon as possible would be awesome! Cheers!

Install is the same as G35 lights - they are the same assembly-wise.

But the short of it is: jack up your car, remove your under drip-tray, front bumper and both guard inner plastics.

From memory there are 3 (or 4) screws you need to undo on each light - one at the front at the bottom of the light and 2 at the side (maybe one on top?)? Either way follow the lights around and you will find the bolts.

The wire harness is VERY short, so you have to pull out the lights as far as you can and get a thin screwdriver to push down the little clip on the grey plug before you can undo the plug.

The slightly tricky part will be whether your new lights have the same bulbs as the ones you are taking out. At compliance import compliance workshops were supposed to remove the HID globes and ballasts and modify the light housing to accept a different globe (H1? from memory). Some did this, some did not. You will only know once you look at the new lights and compare them with the ones you are taking out.

Also tricky is levelling the lights - this is a fair PITA, but if you look up guides online they will help you out. Hopefully the ones you have bought are set up correctly and you don't have to mess with them. Be wary, if they are not set up correctly they will not have the correct cut-off and will blind oncoming traffic.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      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...

      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?
