they were just shipped out today so they should be here in the next couple of days and i will post up pics as soon as i get them and finish a few essays for my college class lol. i will keep you guys all updated
Cant wait for detailed pis.

What I'm also saying & especially for your benefit....if you have a '03-'05 Z, you'll need to improvise a bit because you don't have an '06.....
yes i read through his diy and i dont see where i would need to improvise anything because the connectors are all the same. and the hids are preinstalled before shipping so i dont see where i will have to improvise....could you possibly tell me where u think i have to?

potato received Nissan box's.
Improvise (making adjustments) I have already posted earlier... that you have to disconnect the blue wire from the headlight harness otherwise your '06 blinkers will stay on.

They are finally here! hopefully going to put them in today! the headlights are genuine Nissan because of the fact that it has nissan engraved at the very bottom of the face of the headlight. from what i have been told and researched that it how you can tell if the part is genuine Nissan

well thats the thing im very confused on how i am suppose to install these because they came with an aftermarket hid kit...from what i have seen i have to cut holes in the plastic cover and mount the ballast somewhere else....so idk if i really want to do that. so with that said i might just use the wiring from the 03 headlights and buy a 8000k bulb if that possible? any body know if that is possible?

Intrested in link as well. Better yet, someone post the review from the other site on here so others can see it (instead of sending everyone a link)
