Has anyone swapped the OEM Xenon HID headlamp assembly into their base model 350Z? Just wondering if it is a bolt in affair. Do the harnesses match? are there any different mounting points?

 

anyone? i've searched but i haven't found any posts of people swapping in the entire headlamp assembly.

 

I had mine done by someone who knew how to do it... but it was not a straight bolt on... major modification was needed... the headlight circuit plugs are different (HID headlights vs non HID headlights)...

 

Thanks for the info. Was the housing mounting direct fit?

 

PM Jun .. I think he knows a lot about this

 

I got a OEM HID kit from Jun, it is very easy. Basically remove the front bumper, remove the headlights, plug in 2 things and put it back together. No splicing or anything. Took about an hour and I had no prior experience.

 

If you're talking about the actual housing... then its an exact fit... but the circuit plugs are different... i think it was 6 prongs vs 8 prongs (dont count me on that)

maybe a HID KIT would be an easier route... because you have to find spare OEM HID Headlights and that might be too hard or too expensive...

 

Actually I already have both headlamps from a totalled touring model. I guess I just need to find out how to wire them up.

 

I upgraded to 2k3 maxima hids.. left over from my old maxima that i traded. pretty easy swap... minor modification to the bulb base... and a few wires.
