Hmm. Never thought about it that way.

 

Datsun's all have yellow reflectors btw?? Z1, they didnt have them on the headlamps, but always has them as side markers? Explain yourself! lol

 

Leaned that one quick. The Trainee has now become the trainer.

 

So I am guessing my blue bulbs arent stock then. Ill have to pull them out and take a look but from what I have been reading they might actually be illegal haha.

 

OP how blue are they. My 05 have stock lights and when I first turn them on they start off light blue then quickly become whiter.

 

noted on the reflectors themselves being 'older school' looking - I never minded them either, though always liked the ones in the G's headlights more

but, yes, older Z's had the parking lights in the fenders, but these were lit, unlike a reflector which just sorta chills out there. Japanese spec cars got clear functioning side markers (actually pretty much all over except North America), but we still have the amber reflectors in the bumper too - sort of a reflector overload on these cars

all semantics anyway !

 

I would say mine do the same but whenever I drive up to someones house at night they comment on how my lights look blue. Maybe this is normal IDK.

 

Hmm. Yea. If people are saying that sounds like you got some aftermarket lights.

 

Just so you guys know, Z1 does sell the 06+ headlights, so order from them to upgrade.

 

This is actually a good question OP, I don't recall anyone asking directly the difference between the two models and whether it is worth the upgrade.

IMO the 03-05 are perfectly fine but if you can get a good deal on the 06+ it is definitely worth the upgrade.

 

I get these comments in conversations all the time.
I think this is just how the 03-05 lights are.

I have almost no problems with my 03-05 lights at all.
The only dislike I have over the 06+ is how puny my lights look in comparison.
The 06+ just fills up the headlight, which appeals to me.

If you worry about not having HIDs, I saw a vendor on here selling OEM looking headlights with HID's already in them.
I remember them being only like 3XX$ shipped?

 

Has anyone on here done the 05 to 06 headlight conversion? will it bolt right in? I've read all the threat, but haven't seen anything about people actually done the swap. thanks..

 

never mind, I found it on Z1 website..
These are genuine Nissan HID projector headlights as found on the 2006 models. Unlike previous years, the 2006 models received a true projector lense for increased light output and a much more modern look. Direct plug and play for any 2003-2005 350Z that came with factory HID. If your car was not equipped with factory HID's, you'll need to purchase an aftermarket HID kit with D2S bulbs. Priced per pair.
Nissan 2006 350Z HID Headlights (Pair) $1515.00 $69.00 Please Call

 

cooler design, more light output, stronger and more effective projector lense....who wouldn't want to upgrade

 

I have them on my 04 - plug and play. The only thing you need to do is clip the blue wire on each light that plugs into the parking light. If you leave it connected, the parking light will be on all the time (though it will still flash when you engage the turn signal). If clipped, it will only illuminate when you engage the turn signal

 

If you wanna spend 1500 bucks on headlights.....unless someone has spare cash ready to blow, i certainly don't. I could see so many better ways to use 1500 than just making my headlights brighter.

My 05 Anni also has the HIDs, they start off blue for about a minute, then they get whiter but still keep a very slight tint of blue in them. They also fade on, like an old school tube TV warming up.

 

this is a 04 pair!!! this headlight has oem xenon.....but I added parking orange led and one led into the lens

 

You headlight might have been tampered with.

They could have been blacked out which doesnt allow them to reflect light.
or
You dont have HID's because you have a base model
or
You need to replace your bulbs
or
You need to realign where your headlights aim which can easily be done

 

my headlight it's ok....with oem xenon

 

These lights look dope.
I think it would look good with my PPW / CF / gold theme.
