Default 06+ headlight install on a base 03 Z

I dont know about what alot of members have read on these forums or other websites about installing 06+ bi-xenon headlights on a base model 350z, i've personally read that it was almost impossible to do.....

but over the weekend one of my buddies and I did exactly that...i purchased some 2008 bi-xenons and installed them on my 03 base model Z...to be honest with everyone .... it was very simple.....difficulty level was about 6/10. As long as you have or know someone who is good with soldering wires together and reading instructions your set...

approx time: it took us about 2 hrs to do everything...secured and work done right...

hopes this helps alot of you the way it helped me!!!!!!!

i used the following instructions:

If you look at your wiring harness from the engine side, you will see this. This is you looking directly at the inside the connectors.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| 1 2 3 |

| 4 5 6 |


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Turn Signal 2. High Beam 3. Ground for Headlights/High Beam 4. Grounds for Parking Lights / Turn Signal 5. Parking Lights 6. Headlight

You will need to match up these plugs with the 2006 HID wiring harness. The 2006 headlights have total of 7 pins. You will have 1 pin left over.

1.Slide out the connector harness from the 06 HID lights. It will be on there pretty snug but it will come out right.
2.Cut out the electrical tapes that hold the wirres together. Becareful not to cut any of the wires.
3.Once removed, look at the back of the connectors where the wires are entering into the connector. The digram below numbers the wires from the back side of the connetors. the way to make sure that you have the correct side up is looking at the number 1 position from the back. It will be empty with no wires going into the connector.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| 1 2 3 4 |

| 5 6 7 8 |


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2006 HID WIRES 1. No Wires 2. Green/Black - Connect this wire to Turn Signal (Position 1 on Base Wire Harness) 3. Lime - Connect this wire to High Beam (Position 2 on Base Wire Harness) 4. Black - Connect this to Ground for High Beam/Headlight (Position 3 on Base Wire Harness) 5. Green/Black - Connect this to Turn Signal (Position 1 on Base Wire Harness) 6. Green/White - Connect this to Parking Lights (Position 5 on the Base Wire Harness) 7. Red - Connect this to Headlight (Position 6 on the Base Wire Harness) 8. Black - Connect this to Ground Parking/Turn Signal (Position 4 on Base Wire Harness)

Connect it matching the diagrams above. Also note that you will need to change out your fuse and put in 20 amp fuse. The new HIDs uses a lot more power so your original fuse will not work.

You will also notice that you will have a blue wire left over from the 2006 HID side. This wire is unused and not needed.

You read my mind 350niZmo. I thought it was plug and play (dumb-***) and when I took it apart I found different plugs. I was ready to Ebay them and thought I would check. Worth a shot.

Thanks
