procustomize....imo those headlights look great!
The feedback from some of the members here who bought those headlights is that the headlight beam is not correct.....it's either too low or too high? Any comments?

Whats the deal with these? I gather these are 06+ replicas?

Fit, function, and look are excellent. These lights were tested on the vehicle so the fit is like the originals.

^ Very minor rewiring, I made my own harness. This was back in 2006, cost me a pretty penny back then.

But these on ebay.... are they 06+ replicas or are they actual 06+ lights? I get a feeling they are replicas and are only low beam as the description seems like there is no bi-xenon setup. Something seems fishy about these.

Alright... I re-read the description.

These are professionally manufactured by the leading aftermarket lighting company in the world.
So I guess they are replicas but I get the feeling they are low bean only.

You need to stop relying on your feelings, leave that up to the panties. Several people have already purchased them and they came out legit. High beam is just a coil that raises the cutoff plate.

I know the real oem lights are bi-xenon but I am wondering since these are aftermarket if they are as well or just a low beam knock off. At this price it's not a total loss to buy one soon and find out.

I'm new to the site and I found it searching for replacement headlights. I've got a 2003 350z factory Xenon HID and I'm in the same boat as a lot of others. I don't have the money to replace my cracked factory headlights and can't find a good replacement without buying used/brand new Nissan replacements for $$$$$$ . I'm either going to be saving up for some bi-xenons or trying these out:

I was just wondering if anyone had tried these. Sorry if someone's already mentioned them, but I'm on break at work right now and didn't have a whole lot of time to search the forums. If anyone has bought these, please let me know if they're a quality part.

Thanks

I thinks there a few other members with these but only a few because most just upgrade to the 06+ light.
Looks good though

I really dont mind the flaming, for the price I'm very happy. Hopefully these pictures will make the choice of new headlights easier for someone. I was so close to not buying them because of ebay, glad I did.

Thanks Tom!

The eBay headlight thread has quite a few pics iirc. Looks nice regardless, I'd rather have eBay lights than some old yellowed up stockers.
