Turns out the same clear lense that is swapped into the TL should fit the 06 projectors. There called ZKW lenses and I have no idea what car they are actually off of but there very expensive.

Here are some 3" lense on ebay, its says "identical" to ZKW but its not actually ZKW so I dunno.... He says you can return them if there not 100% clear tho....

I believe the zkw lenses have already been tried, and the resulting isn't promising, the focal point is off, a koito clear lense is really what is needed

ZKW does work with lens spacing. What you need is JDM STI lenses.

Stock

with JDM STI

with ZKW

with mystery Koito (not found in US)

Thanks Ivory I'm going to have to look into some JDM STI lenses it seems.

I am in contact with a "retrofit supplier" he told me the focal length is off on the ZKW (which exlains why lens spacing fixs it) and was going to see what all lenses work with the 350z projector.
