Okay so there's a guy who's somewhat local who's selling a pair of 06+ lights. The thing is... He converted them to non-HID. He's selling at a cheap price so I was wondering if its possible to convert them back to HID.

I have an 04 HID capable 350z. I've been looking into 06+ headlights for a long time and this may be my chance to finally do it.

Here's the ad, you guys can take a look at what he wrote:

But do you think its possible to easily get them back to HID without major difficulty? Or is this a bad idea?
Thanks

 

yea u just need to do some mods on the wiring harness on the headlights and a couple of other things shouldnt be too hard

 

He converted them to non-HID? He spent time (and money) to obtain a worse-performing product? I are confused.

 

lol he didn't convert anything, he wired them to be compatible with base model 03-05 Z's.

 

 

It will be easy reconnect wire harness then get a hid kit. Simple. GL

 

You guys think theres any chance these could be those crappy ebay lights? And is there any way to determine if theyre genuine nissan products? like will they say nissan on the back?

 

that is so weird never heard anyone doing that crap

 

where did the ad say he converted them to non-hid? reading comprehension...

 

Yeah +1. Read the ad again. He only re-wired them to fit non-HID cars. But they are still "OEM HID"

 

Sooo..that means they are complete OEM HID headlights that will plug into the existing wires on a non-HID equipped car? I mean it seems possible - as far as the wires know, wattage is wattage.

 

Okay.. my bad guys, i assumed thats what it meant. So he said all i have to do is switch the wiring harness and it should be plug and play.

Now im a total moron on how the headlights effectively are put together as a system, (i know how headlights work, i just dont fully understand all the parts and how each connects to one another, like how or where the ballast connects to the wiring harness etc) Ive tried to do research on it, and its kind of hard to get the idea without pictures of the parts that everyones talking about.

So if i get these and all i have to do is rewire the wiring harness? No need to buy an Hid kit i can just use the oem parts that are on my car right now? Or do i need to buy a new wiring harness?

And would rewiring these be difficult? again im not the brightest when it comes to electricals.

Thanks guys.

 

you beat me to the question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Just rewire everything that was switched by the original owner so it'll fit your factory hid harness. Even if you end up having to splice or cut the harness, everything is color coded so it shouldn't be too difficult. Then it should become a simple plug and play. here are some threads that might help:

thanks man.

 

good luck

 

Cheers, oh one last question. Are there any distinguishing marks/features/labels/words/signs on the actual oem 2006 nissan bi-xenon headlights that distinguish them from crappy ebay lights?

I mean i think I'm getting a super deal if these are genuine nissan, but if they're ebay lights its a rip, especially since I didn't want to do the upgrade, I just happened upon the deal. And craigslist isn't the safest place to buy genuine products.

 

Fyi i called the guy and talked to him they are 03 headlights the pic is not accuall item

 

I would just save another $400 and get a pair that havent been altered or messed with. Those are still 03-05 headlights if im looking at those pics right anyways...their just blacked out.
